What happens to pH of water when hydrochloric acid is added to water?

The pH of water decreases when hydrochloric acid is added to it because hydrochloric acid is a strong acid that donates protons in water, increasing the concentration of hydrogen ions and lowering the pH of the solution.


Which is a stronger acid Hydrochloric or acetic?

Hydrochloric acid is stronger than acetic acid. This is because hydrochloric acid fully dissociates in water to form more H+ ions, making it a stronger acid compared to acetic acid, which only partially dissociates.


Is hydrochloric an acid or base?

Hydrochloric Acid or HCl is a strong acid. This is because it dissociates completely in water (the very definition of a strong acid/base) into H+ and Cl-. Since H+ are free in the water it causes the water to become more acidic and therefore an acid. The dissociation coupled with the free H+ after dissociation give it the classification of a strong acid.


How would you make a solution of hydrochloric acid more dilute?

To make a solution of hydrochloric acid more dilute, you can add more water to the solution. This will decrease the concentration of hydrochloric acid in the solution while maintaining the total volume. Gradually adding water and mixing well will help in achieving the desired dilution.


If you add hydrochloric acid to water what effect would it have on the H plus concentration on the pH?

Adding hydrochloric acid to water would increase the concentration of H+ ions, leading to a decrease in pH. Hydrochloric acid dissociates in water to form more H+ ions, making the solution more acidic.

Is sulphur dioxide more likely to react with sodium hydroxide or hydrochloric acid?

Sulphur dioxide is more likely to react with hydrochloric acid than with sodium hydroxide. This is because sulphur dioxide reacts with water to form sulfurous acid, which then reacts with hydrochloric acid to form more stable compounds like sulfite salts.


Does Hydrochloric acid kill citric acid in your stomach?

First off. You should NOT be drinking hydrochloric acid. Second, hydrochloric acid added to another acid is just that, more acid.


How does lithium burn in hydrochloric acid?

Lithium reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce lithium chloride and hydrogen gas. The reaction is exothermic and vigorous, with the hydrogen gas being evolved as bubbles. The lithium chloride formed remains dissolved in the solution.


When water and hydrochloric acid are mixed why does the pH differ when more acid is mixed?

because pH is the measure of how much acid it contains it would change if you added more


Does hydrochloric acid have a more dramatic effect on palladium or platinum?

Hydrochloric acid has a more dramatic effect on palladium compared to platinum. Palladium forms soluble complexes with hydrochloric acid, while platinum is more resistant to attack and does not readily form soluble compounds with hydrochloric acid.


What gas is produced when hydrochloric acid is added to muriatic acid?

Nothing happens. The two are different names for the same chemical. If the two are different concentrations, though, the effect will be like adding water to the more concentrated one. Like when adding water and acid, heat and splashing may occur! Do this safely with proper protective gear, and with the container able to accept any heat generated due to the water + acid.


If you add a small amount of hydrochloric acid to 4 liters of water what type of solution would you expect to have?

You get a dilute solution. With 4 litres of water, you have more solvent (H2O) than solvent (HCl) than you originally had.
