Yes and no. You can use it as a general purpose register, but if you do that, you will lose the ability to perform arithmetic and logical computations and comparisons that would normally use the accumulator.

What is ax or accumulator register?
Accumulator is a general purpose register.it is a 8 bit register in 8085. it stores the temporary results of a current operation doing by 8085.it is also called 'A' register
What the Difference between accumulator and register?
The accumulator is a general register that holds a value. It is also a special register that can be used as the target for the result of various arithmetic or logical computations. For instance, if you wanted to add two numbers, you could load the first into the accumulator, add the second to the accumulator, and then store the accumulator where wanted. The instruction register is an internal register that holds the value of the instruction opcode in order for the 8085 to decode and process the instruction. While it is shown on the Intel block diagram for the 8085, it is not directly accessible by the running program - it is for internal use only by the 8085.
What the Difference between accumulator and instruction register?
Examples: /360: no accumulator 8080: A 6800: A and B 8086: AX ...
Why accumulator is called a special register?
Accumulator contains one of the operand for any operation which is performed by the ALU.The result of the operation is stored in the Accumulator. thus it is a special register
What is the specific purpose of hl register?

No.
What is an ax register?
It is one of 4 registers called general purpose registers Ax has a another name witch is (accumulator) it used in arithmetic and logic operation and store data from I/o port in microprocessors like 8086/8088
What are the 4 general purposes registers?

What are the different registers in an 8085 microprocessor?
There are 6 general purpose Registers and Two special purpose registers: General purpose registers(8 bit basically) are B,C,D,E,H,L and SPECIAL Purpose resisters are STACK PONITER,PROGRAM COUNTER these two are 16 bit registers. If u want make general purpose registers as 16 bit registers, the combination is BC,DE,HL these are 16 bit pair registers
