Chemical Uses of Hydrochloric Acid
2

• Introduction
• ?
• Hydrochloric acid, also known as hydrogen
  chloride or muriatic acid, is an odourless and
  colourless solution that absorbs hydrogen
  chloride in water.
• It is a poisonous, corrosive and hazardous liquid
  that, when combined with metals, forms explosive
  hydrogen gas inducing severe burns and irritation
  of the eyes. This highly corrosive chemical
  compound can be toxic as well.
• Production of Hydrochloric Acid
• Industrially hydrochloric acid is usually
  prepared by dissolving hydrogen chloride in
  water. Hydrogen chloride can be generated in many
  ways, and thus several precursors to it
  exist. Today, hydrochloric acid is primarily
  manufactured in solutions up to 38 per cent
  concentrated grade. Higher concentrations up to
  over 40 per cent are chemically possible, but the
  evaporation rate is so high that storage and
  handling require pressurisation and cooling. Bulk
  industrial-grade product is, therefore, 30 per
  cent to 35 per cent optimised to balance
  transport efficiency and product loss through
  evaporation.

• Uses of Hydrochloric Acid
• Known as a 'workhouse chemical, ' hydrochloric
  acid has an enormous scope of application in
  chemical synthesis. 
• Production of Inorganic Compounds
• This acid is used to prepare compounds like
  ferric acid, poly aluminium chloride (PAC),
  iron(III) chloride and aluminium carbohydrate,
  which are used in treating water.  
• Good-quality hydrochloric acid is used in the
  renewal of ion exchange resins. Cation exchange
  is extensively used to remove ions such as Na
  and Ca2 from aqueous solutions, producing
  demineralised water. The acid is used for
  flushing the cations from the resins. Akin to its
  use for pickling, hydrochloric acid is used to
  dissolve many metals, metal oxides and metal
  carbonates.
• Synthesis of Organic Compounds
• Hydrochloric acid synthesises organic compounds
  like bisphenol A, vinyl chloride, polyvinyl
  chloride and dichloromethane. These organic
  compounds have high commercial significance and
  are used in the plastic industry.

• Removing Metal Stains and Cleaning Stone and
  Tiles
• Hydrochloric acid is used for bleaching clothes
  and processing leather in the leather tanning
  industry. It removes rust from metals like iron
  and copper in a diluted form.
• Purification of Table Salt and pH Control
• Hydrochloric acid suppliers in uae  is used to
  purify table salts and to regulate the acidity
  (pH) of solutions. It is also used in controlling
  the pH of food, water and pharmaceutical
  products.
• Oil Production
• This compound is injected into rocks to create
  large-porous structures that mainly assist oil
  production.
• Aqua Regia
• Aqua regia is a yellow fuming liquid used for
  cleaning and making jewellery. This solution is
  prepared by mixing nitric acid and
  concentrated hydrochloric acid in a ratio 13
  ratio. The solution can dissolve noble metals
  like gold and platinum.
• Deionisation
• Of the six strong mineral acids in
  chemistry, hydrochloric acid is the least likely
  to undergo oxidation. Despite its acidity, it is
  one of the least hazardous strong acids to
  handle.

• Titration
• Medium-strength hydrochloric acid solutions are
  pretty stable upon storage and maintain their
  concentration. In addition, the fact that it is
  available as a pure reagent makes this acid a
  suitable acidifying compound. 
• Chemstock , Hydrochloric acid is the favoured
  acid in titration for determining the number of
  bases. Strong acid titrants give more precise
  results due to a more distinct endpoint. Azeotropi
  c or constant-boiling hydrochloric acid (roughly
  20.2 per cent) can be used as a primary standard
  in quantitative analysis. However, its exact
  concentration depends on the measured atmospheric
  pressure when it is prepared.
• Sugar Purification
• The acidic chemical is also applied in the
  purification of sugar. Following the removal of
  xylose and glucose by acid hydrolysis of
  sugarcane juice, the rest of the organic
  substances in the solution are removed
  by hydrochloric acid.
• Rate of Reaction
• Hydrochloric acid can be used to measure the
  rate of reaction of sodium thiosulphate.
