Muratic acid is another name for hydrochloric acid, so it is not the same thing as sulfuric acid.
Muriatic acid, which is another name for hydrochloric acid, is considered an inorganic compound. It is a strong mineral acid composed of hydrogen and chlorine and is not derived from living organisms.
i want to clean algi from pontoons on my pontoon boat,,can muratic acid be used??????
muratic acid
Formula: HCl
To clean buildup in the cell of a chlorine generator, first, disconnect the power and plumbing to the cell. Then, create a diluted muriatic acid solution with a ratio of 1 part acid to 10 parts water. Carefully pour the solution into the cell and let it sit for a few minutes before gently scrubbing the buildup with a soft brush. Rinse the cell thoroughly with water before reconnecting it to the system.
ADD MURATIC ACID PER DIRECTIONS. ALSO ADJUSTS THE PH New ans: There are no directions on a bottle of muratic acid. Muriatic acid will have little affect on the overall pH readings or can hardly be detected on most test kits. Possible too, lowering the pH may actually prolong the life of the chlorine. Chlorine levels will automatically come down naturally if left alone. And why in the world would you ever want to lower the chlorine levels if you have good sanitation????
During electrolysis of hydrochloric acid, chlorine gas is produced at the anode. This is because chloride ions are oxidized to form chlorine gas.
Muratic Acid
not sure
muriatic acid should not cause discolouration to concrete it will eat it away though.
In 1809 Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac and Louis-Jacques Thénard tried to decompose dephlogisticated muratic acid air by reacting it with charcoal to release the free element muriaticum (and carbon dioxide). They did not succeed and published a report in which they considered the possibility that dephlogisticated muratic acid air is an element, but were not convinced. In 1810, Sir Humphrey Davy tried the same experiment again, and concluded that it was an element, and not a compound. He named this new element as chlorine, from the Greek word χλωρος (chlōros), meaning green-yellow
