Mineral acids are made of one or more inorganic components and HCl is Hydrogen and Chlorine, and Chlorine is not considered an organic element.
Mineral Acid
NO!!! Hydrochloric Acid is a mineral acid. Formula is (HCl) Vinegar is Ethanoic (Acetic) Acid a Carboxylic acid. Formula is (CH3COOH)
hydrochloric acid
1.Sulphuric acid (H2SO4) 2. Hydrochloric acid (HCl) 3. Nitric acid(HNO3) 4. Boric acid(H3BO3) 5. Hydrofluoric acid(HF) 6. Hydrobromic acid(HBr) 7.Chromic acid (H2CrO4)
No, HCl is a gas, though quite soluble in water (up to 720 g/L), which is called hydrochloric acid.
Mineral Acid
No, HCl is a mineral acid
HCl is a mineral acid. It is also classed as a halogen acid.
NO!!! Hydrochloric Acid is a mineral acid. Formula is (HCl) Vinegar is Ethanoic (Acetic) Acid a Carboxylic acid. Formula is (CH3COOH)
hydrochloric acid
HCl, hydrochloric acid, is a strong acid composed of hydrogen and chlorine. Used as a digestive aid in human stomachs.
This is a chemical reaction between the acid and the mineral.

No, HCl is a gas, though quite soluble in water (up to 720 g/L), which is called hydrochloric acid.
Dilute acid or vinegar is placed on the specimen to see if it effervesces or reacts. If it instantly reacts it is probably a carbonate mineral like calcite. Other minerals may slowly dissove in the acid. Some minerals have no reaction to the acid.
It is called an acid-base reaction. The product is called a salt. For example: NaOH + HCl -> NaCl + H2O NaOH is the base. HCl is the acid. NaCl is the salt. H2O is water.
Strong acids , sometimes called the mineral acids, are Hydrochloric, Sulphuric,, Nitric and Phosphoric acids. There are other mineral acids too. However, do not confuse with Organic (carboxylic/fatty) acids, which are generally weak acids.
