What is a example of molecular acid?

Answer 1

I suppose "molecular acid" caught on with the "Alien" movie. A dumb "sci"-fi choice of words. All the substances we call "acids" are molecules, from the simple, yet deadly hydrochloric acid (HCl) to the maps of life, DNA and RNA. The fabled "aqua regia" is probably one of the toughest combinations (hydrochloric + nitric), being able to dissolve even gold or platinum. Sulphuric, phosphoric, you name it, they're all molecules. In effect, "molecular acid" is nothing more than tautology.

Answer 2

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is an example of a molecular acid. It is a compound composed of hydrogen and chlorine atoms, and it dissociates into ions when dissolved in water to form hydronium ions (H3O+) and chloride ions (Cl-), resulting in an acidic solution.
