HCl-Hydrogen chloride

The compound hydrogen chloride has the chemical formula HCl and as such is a hydrogen halide. At room temperature, it is a colorless gas, which forms white fumes of hydrochloric acid upon contact with atmospheric water vapor. Hydrogen chloride gas and hydrochloric acid are important in technology and industry.    

Application:

Hydrogen chloride is very active in chemical properties and can react with many substances, such as metals, metal oxides, alkalis, etc. to produce corresponding salts and water. In the laboratory, hydrogen chloride can be used to prepare various salts and acids, such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, etc. In addition, hydrogen chloride also exists in nature in volcanic eruptions, hot springs, oceans, etc.
‌Industrial production‌: Hydrogen chloride is widely used in industrial production, such as in the production process of chemical products such as hydrochloric acid, chlorine, and chlorides.
‌Chemical experiments‌: Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is a commonly used reagent in many chemical experiments to adjust the pH value and acid-dissolve substances in the reaction.
‌Pickling and cleaning‌: Due to the strong acidity of hydrogen chloride, it can be used to pickle metal surfaces, clean dirt and oil stains.
‌Chlorinating agent‌: Hydrogen chloride can be used as a chlorinating agent in certain chemical reactions, such as the desulfurization reaction in the oil refining process.
