Hydrochloric acid (HCl)


The most acidic substance in the body is?

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) in the stomach is considered one of the most acidic substances in the body, with a pH as low as 1.5. It plays a crucial role in breaking down food and aiding in digestion.


Is HCl acidic or basic?

HCl or hydrogen chloride is an acid thus one of the strongest acids. HCl(ag)--> H+ (ag) + Cl-(ag) this shows that HCl ionises completely which makes HCl a strong acid, thus what makes it an acid is the involvement of the H+ ion. any compound that has a H+ ion is an acid and any compound that has a OH- is a basic. thus HCl has an H+ ion that makes HCl acidic. Hope am not confusing U but this is how i understand it so yea.. Cheerz!


A substance with a pH of 2 is a?

The strong acids have pH=2 as HCl or H2SO4.


Why does 1m solution of hcl considered more acidic than 1m soltion of ch3ooh?

because hcl is more acidic than ch3cooh. ch3cooh (ethanoic acid) is a weak acid whereas hcl is a very strong acid.


A solution has a pH of 8.5 is acidic or basic which substance is more likely to cause this pH in water HCI or NaOH why?

A solution with a substance of 8.5 would be basic not acidic. NaOH would most likely cause this pH as it is a base whereas the reaction between HCl and water would cause a very stong acid.


Will the pH increase or decrease if HCI is added to a basic solution?

The pH will decrease if HCl is added to a basic solution because HCl is an acid and will introduce more H+ ions into the solution, shifting the pH towards the acidic range.


What is the colour of phenolphthalein after addition of dilute HCl?

The color of phenolphthalein after the addition of dilute HCl is colorless. Phenolphthalein is typically pink in basic solutions but turns colorless in acidic conditions due to the change in pH.

Why does pH of HCl increase as HCl is diluted?

The pH increases because the HCl is becoming less acidic. A pH of 7 is neutral. A pH falls below 7, acidity increases. As pH rises above 7, basicity increases. Diluting HCl means that the HCl becomes less concentrated, and therefore, less acidic. As it becomes less acidic, the pH will become more basic, and thus increase.


Is HCL acidic in aqueous solution?

Yes, hydrochloric acid (HCl) is acidic in aqueous solution. It dissociates into H+ and Cl- ions in water, resulting in the release of hydrogen ions that make the solution acidic. It has a pH lower than 7.


Is HF acidic or basic?

Definitely ACIDIC . It is the corresponding acid to hydrochlorice acid. The halogen acids are HF = hydrofluoric acid HCl = Hydrochloric Acid HBr = hydrobromic acid HI = hydroiodic acid. .
