Hydrochloric acid is a clear, colourless solution of hydrogen chloride (HCl) in water. It is a highly corrosive, strong mineral acid with many industrial uses. Hydrochloric acid is found naturally in gastric acid.
Historically called muriatic acid, and spirits of salt, hydrochloric acid was produced from vitriol (sulfuric acid) and common salt. It first appeared during the Renaissance,[verification needed] and then it was used by chemists such as Glauber, Priestley and Davy in their scientific research.
With major production starting in the Industrial Revolution, hydrochloric acid is used in the chemical industry as a chemical reagent in the large-scale production of vinyl chloride for PVC plastic, and MDI/TDI for polyurethane. It has numerous smaller-scale applications, including householdcleaning, production of gelatin and other food additives, descaling, and leather processing. About 20

These substances were found to be acids because after testing them by dipping pH paper into a well fill with about three drops of the substance, the color of the paper turned to a color correlating with the color of a six or lower on the pH scale.…

    hydrogen chloride has properties: Hydrogen chloride has one molecule of hydrogen and one molecule of chlorine: Hydrogen chloride has a very powerful smell. It is in the form of a gas but only when it is at room temperature which is approximately 25 Celsius and when the pressure is high. The solubility of hydrogen chloride is very high this means that it can dissolve in water quickly because it dissolves many times in its own solution (the gas form of hydrogen chloride). It is very soluble because the smaller the chain of the molecules are then the energy required in small quantities however if the chain is long then it will need more energy so that means that the longer chain will have a slow reaction and the longer the chain the chances…

    Polyurethane Analysis

    The first polyurethane synthesised by Dr Otto Bayer, in 1937, at IG Farbenindustrie Germany, by the reaction of a polyester diol with a diisocyanate, opened a new way in macromolecular chemistry: that is the synthesis of polymers by a new reaction, called polyaddition reaction. Polyurethane (PUR and PU) is any polymer composed of a chain of organic units joined by carbamate (urethane) links. Polyurethane polymers are formed through step-growth polymerization, by reacting a monomer (with at least two isocyanate functional groups) with another monomer (with at least two hydroxyl or alcohol groups) in the presence of a catalyst. Polyurethanes, having a relatively short history, of slightly more than 70 years, became one of the most dynamic groups…

    Perchloric acid’s chemical formula is HClO4. This acid is not usually used alone. It is used for a solvent for metals and alloys a dehydrating agent, particularly in the determination of silica in iron and steel and in cement and other silicate materials. It is also used as a solvent for sulfide ores for the determination of copper and other metals, in the separation and determination of the alkali metals sodium and potassium.…

    Identifying this organic acid was an extensive task that involved several different experiments. Firstly, the melting point had to be determined. Since melting point can be determined to an almost exact degree, finding a close melting point of the specific unknown can accurately point to the identification of the acid. In this case the best melting point range was 207-209 degrees Celsius. Melting point, while very helpful in identifying an unknown organic acid, is simply not enough. Next, a series of titration experiments had to be done. In the first series, a titration is completed of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) with KHP. Three reps were completed and the resulting data led to the finding of the molarity of the sodium hydroxide. The second part of the titration series involved titrating the same prepared sodium hydroxide solution with Hydrochloric Acid (HCL). This is how the molarity of the HCL was determined. The last part to the titration series was necessary to determine the equivalent weight of the acid. The equivalent weight for this unknown was calculated to be ~197 g/mol H+ Once these titration series experiments were complete, enough data is accumulated to complete a computer search. Based on the results of the computer search the next experiment involved conducting at least one trial of pKa and, since the results contained acids that had N,Cl,Br, or S, chemical testing by sodium fusion had to completed. With all of this information combined, it was then simple to correctly identify the organic acid unknown.…

    Acetic acid, a pungent smelling colourless liquid having sour taste, used very commonly in the chemistry laboratories. It got its name from Latin word Acetum, which means vinegar. Pure acetic acid is also called glacial acetic acid, because in winters it freezes easily as temperature goes below 16-17°C. Therefore it looks like as if a small glacier is there in the bottle, hence called glacial acetic acid.…
