Best Answer

Concentrated HCl is hydrochloric acid with a concentration that is close to the maximum amount of this acid that can be dissolved in water. In general, it is considered to be approximately 12M, which is 12 moles of acid per L of solution, however 38-40% acid solution of concentrated HCl do exceed 12M (up to 12.6M).

I am not sure of what happens if you try to make a solution of HCl that is more concentrated. In any case, you should always read the label on the bottle and consider the age of the mixture as pure HCl is a gas and will evapourate, which will lower the concentration.
