Can muriatic acid be used on your plants such as hydrangeas to help grow and flourish?
Muriatic acid or hydrochloric acid is corrosive and harmful toxin. MAy be at very low level they act as a stimulant for the growth of plant but as the concentration increases the plant would die because of the metabolites produced by the reaction of products of decomposition of HCl.
Can you use vinegar instead of muriatic acid in your pool?
Not recomended, it would take to much since vinegar is a lot weaker as acids go (hence humans can safely consume it) and there is other organic related compounds that are not good for the pool.
What is a good product to use to remove latex paint from concrete?
Muriatic acid will do it,but take extreme care - it can be very dangerous to use
How do you properly and safely use muriatic acid to take a sealer off a fireplace stack made of rock?
Muriatic acid reacts with cement, concrete, and limestone. It may not be suitable for removing an oil based or water based sealer from these products. If you know what type of sealer it was, contact the manufacturer for information.
Can you use white distilled vinegar to etch concrete?
Concrete is very hard. To do any good in etching it you need something very strong. Muriatic Acid is the only thing that I have found that works. How strong you mix it depends on the concrete. Some concrete that was poured with a lot of water in the mix will need less Acid. Concrete that is smooth and hard will take more. Muriatic Acid is caustic. Read the direction. Use rubber gloves; safety glasses; and a respirator. For a large project, such as a driveway or Patio. Use a plastic garbage can. Fill with 10 gallons of water. Carefully pour one gallon of Muriatic Acid into the water and mix with a wooden paddle. Take a plastic watering can and fill it with the solution. Wet your concrete with a water hose, then carefully pour the Acid solution onto the concrete. It will bubble and foam. This is the acid etching the concrete. Let it set for about 15 min. Scrub with a stiff push broom, and then rinse with a water hose. The acid will kill plants and grass. Steve Schillinger sds@knology.net = Safety Note = Make sure you put the water in the garbage can first--adding water to acid is a sure way to get splashed with concentrated acid.
If using muriatic acid do the fumes rise or stay near the ground without air movement?
== == While the fumes of muriatic acid (hydrochloric acid - HCl) are slightly heavier than air, the oxidation reaction is highly exothermic. The acid fumes will react with things in air, and generate heat. The heat generated causes gases to rise, so muriatic acid co-oxidant gases will fill the surrounding space. Fumes also mix quickly without heat due to diffusion. A link can be found below to the Wikipedia post on hydrochloric acid. If you are using concentrated acid in still dry air the fumes will not be too bad however you should stil take care. However if you use the stuf in cool conditions especialy in the morning with mist in the air the area around you will soon become a toxic cloud of acid vapor.
How do you apply muriatic acid in a pool?
Carefully take care that you don't splash any in your eyes. A good way is to work out how much you need carefully measure it into a bucket, then take the bucket to the pool and lay t in the water the acid will run out with no splashing that way. Just use common sense.
If i have 60000 zombies how long will 2000 troops take to kill them?
It really depends on how long it will take to kill each one.
Does vinegar lower the pH in a pool?
Acetic acid (vinegar) technically could, but you'd need a HUGE amount of it, as vinegar is not an especially strong acid. Muriatic acid or Sodium bisulphate would do a better job.
How long does it take to get high from acid?
about an hour or so.
What can i use to clean the vinyl liner?
I currently have an above ground pool 15' wide 4' deep and i use a chlorine bouy which i take out when not in use.
What is the result of mixing chlorine and muriatic acid to metal?
Mixing a chlorine solution with any acid has the potential to release chlorine gas, which can be fatal if exposed to enough of it. If Chlorine gas comes in contact with water, or a mucus membrane (such as your eyes, nasal passage, or lungs) it will form Hydrochloric acid.Chlorine IS a GAS, at standard temperature and pressure [basically, normal ambient atmospheric temperature and pressure]. Chlorine gas mixed with water makes Hydrochloric Acid. IF one dissolves as much Chlorine into water as the water will hold, then one has created Concentrated Hydrochloric Acid [better known as Muriatic Acid]. Therefore, if trying to mix Chlorine gas into Muriatic Acid [Concentrated Hydrochloric Acid] the result is that the gas will only "pass through" [bubble through] the already fully concentrated liquid acid. Yes, there will be gas released, but not from any kind of chemical reaction, only by bubbling through, because the the concentrated acid can/will take NO MORE Chlorine gas.
