Hydrochloric acid is a strong corrosive acid that is commonly used as a laboratory reagent. It is formed by dissolving hydrogen chloride in water. Gastric acid is the hydrochloric acid component of gastric juice.Molecular formula HCl[1], the acid is monoprotic- one proton is able dissociate from the molecule to lower pH. It is a strong Brønsted–Lowry acid as it has a high Ka[2] and donates a proton[3].
HCL is routinely used in chemical research laboratories and manufacturing plants. Its applications include the large-scale production of certain compounds (such as vinyl chloride for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic), removal of rust and scale from metals, petroleum production, and ore processing.How HCL dissociates in water:
HCl + H2O ⇌ H3O+ + Cl−[4]
