Hydrochloric acid, popularly known as salt spirit, is a chemical compound composed of the elements hydrogen and chlorine. It exists as a gas under normal pressure and at room temperature. Today, it is used in all areas, from the iron and steel industry to the PVC field, organic matter production and the food industry. Besides these conveniences, hydrochloric acid actually has a poisonous content. It causes damage to many surfaces, including the human body. When handling this acid, extreme caution should be exercised and necessary precautions should be taken. It has both a toxic and irritating effect. It causes burns on the skin and irritation in the respiratory system. To obtain hydrochloric acid, hydrogen gas must first be obtained. Hydrogen chloride normally boils at 110 degrees and melts at -27 to 32 degrees. Hydrochloric acid is a compound consisting of one chlorine atom and one hydrogen atom, represented by the formula HCl. This compound dissolves at a high rate of approximately 450 liters in one liter of water at room temperature. Like other acids, it gives a color called acid color. It has a high effect on bases such as ammonia and sodium carbonate. If hydrochloric acid is dropped into water, it gives H+ ions. It releases hydrogen as it acts on metals such as iron, zinc, aluminum and magnesium. Although it reacts with the oxygen of the air along with the copper, hydrogen is not released here. Hydrochloric acid also has a rust removing effect. When carbonates react with this compound, carbon dioxide is released. When interacting with organic compounds, chlorinated products can be obtained.
