Hydrochloric Acid is a clear and colorless liquid. |
|
|
It is toxic, threshold limit is 5 ppm. |
|
|
It is corrosive. |

|
|
|
| Hydrochloric acid is thermally stable up to approximately 1500' C but appreciable dissociation occurs above this temperature. It is an aggressive reagent and attacks almost all metals and alloys. |
|
|
|
| It finds use in metal cleaning, decaling, bleaching, hydrolyzing agent and industrial solvent for inorganic compounds. |
