How much water is needed to neutralize a gallon of muriatic acid?

Muriatic acid, also known as hydrochloric acid, can be found in many common items, like household cleaners and swimming pool pH control products. The pH level of muriatic acid itself can fluctuate depending on its concentration and on the molarity of HCl in the aqueous solution, ranging anywhere from 0 to 7 on the pH scale.

∙ 17y agoMuriatic acid is considered concentrated Hydrochloric acid. At STP the maximum soluble concenration is about 37.5% HCl. You will usually titrate it to 36% HCl and as low as 34% HCl. Concentrated muriatic acid is always evaporating HCl gas and the concentration is always dropping. For most purposes like "pool cleaning" they cut it to 17% HCl and still call it muriatic acid. Muriatic should have 65% water by weight on average for the concentrated stuff and 83% water by weight for the weaker stuff.

However if you think about it if you added a massive amount of water you could reduce the solution's ph to 7, which is effectively neutralized.
For a gallon of muriatic acid it would require a few dozen olympic sized Swimming Pools worth of water to effect the dilution.
But really until you give us the molarity of the muriatic acid we can't give you a definite answer for any neutralization method.

What ratio of ammonia do I use to neutralize muriatic acid on garage floor?
12 gallons of ammonia to 1 gallon of water
Window cleaning with muriatic acid?
Window cleaning can be carried out with muriatic acid. Wear gloves and protective eye goggles before working with this acid. Fill a bucket with water and add 1 or 2 ounces of muriatic acid per gallon of water. Dampen a scrubbing brush with the solution and scrub the windows carefully, avoiding splashes. Rinse the windows with clean water from a hose and dispose of the acid solution carefully. You should only use muriatic acid on the outside of the windows.
