No, but it may still help you achieve your goal.
Supposing your main scaling agent is calcium carbonate, acidification will help you as calcium carbonate is less prone to precipitation in acidic conditions.
Hydrochloric acid has an action on the equilibrium of the ions in solution, but does not have any antiscalant properties.
However the use of acid in industrial systems brings its own set of problems.
When used in reverse osmosis applications, the permeate quality will lower (salt rejection by the membrane is considered constant therefore if the ionic strength of the raw water increases, the ion content of the permeate increases too... QED).
If the water is buffered (presence of carbonates), large quantities of acid may be needed. There might be a cost issue as well as a handling issue. Concentrated HCl is not exactly nice stuff to handle and equipment tends to corrode in the presence of HCl vapours.
Antiscalants, on the other hands, will enable supersaturation of the solution. Different molecules with different modes of action and efficiencies can be used :
- polymers
- chelating agents
- phosphate based compounds

I hope this answers your question.
To produce an antiscalant like polycarboxylic acid, you would typically start by polymerizing carboxylic acid monomers like acrylic acid or maleic acid. This polymerization process can be achieved through various methods like free radical polymerization. The resulting polymer can then be formulated into an antiscalant solution with other additives to enhance its performance in inhibiting scale formation in industrial processes.
The metal: sodium. The acid: hydrochloric acid.

Yes, hydrochloric acid is a strong acid.
Hydrochloric acid is classified as an acid.

No, sulphuric acid is used.
The metal: sodium. The acid: hydrochloric acid.
No. Hydrochloric acid is a mineral acid.
It contains hydrochloric acid.
The hydrochloric acid burned my skin, or the hydrochloric acid can burn things if it touches or can have certain things dissolve or melt, like ice.
If you mean hydrochloric acid the answeer ist yes, hydrochloric acid is used to percipictate cocaine of solution
hydrochloric acid
You can use either the nitric or hydrochloric acid as a replacement of the sulphuric acid.
No. The correct acid used in car batteries is Sulfuric Acid and it is a special battery formulation. Hydrochloric acid will destroy the plates over night.
Yes, hydrochloric acid is a strong acid.
