No. Even concentrated hydrochloric acid contains much water. Concentrated sulfuric acid, which can be completely anhydrous, is much more effective as dehydrating agent.
The dehydration of an alcohol produces an organic compound called an alkene. Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons that contain a carbon-carbon double bond.
Benzyl alcohol can react with hydrochloric acid to form benzyl chloride and water in an acid-catalyzed reaction. This reaction is commonly used in organic chemistry for the synthesis of benzyl chloride.
in a dehydration the alcohol becomes charged (R-OH2+) then it can leave (a double bond is formed) the acid provides the extra H+ for the alcohol. then the resulting anion (HSO4- or H2PO4-) can do the elimination reaction creating the double bond. HCL still provides the H+and still could do the elimination, but could also (more likely) just substitute giving R-Cl and not the double bond desired.
Consuming water with alcohol can lead to dehydration, impaired judgment, and increased intoxication. It can also increase the risk of alcohol poisoning and other negative health effects.
Ascending grades of alcohol, such as ethanol, are used for dehydration because they have strong dehydrating properties. When applied to the skin, they can help to remove excess moisture and dry out the area, making them effective for disinfection and wound care. Additionally, the high alcohol content helps to kill bacteria and viruses on the skin surface.
This is a mixture of concentrated hydrochloric acid and anhydrous zinc chloride (which acts as a catalyst). To prepare, mix 136.29 g of anhydrous zinc chloride (ZnCl2) with 105 g of concentrated hydrochloric acid (HCl). Place beaker in an ice bath, due to the exothermic reaction. Stir with a glass rod until all ZnCl2 is dissolved.

Alkene
A suitable substitute for denatured alcohol in this recipe could be isopropyl alcohol or rubbing alcohol.
Isopropyl alcohol can be a suitable substitute for denatured alcohol in this particular application.
Yes, consuming alcohol can lead to dehydration because it is a diuretic, which means it increases urine production and can result in the loss of fluids from the body.
all alcohol dehydrates your body
Prolonged, repeated dehydration.
alkene
Not a good idea. Alcohol is a diuretic, and alcohol consumption leads to dehydration, which greatly complicates bronchitis.
alcohol causes dehydration which makes you more vulnerable to heat stroke
Alcohols can dissolve in concentrated hydrochloric acid (HCl) due to the formation of alkyl chlorides through an acid-catalyzed substitution reaction. The acidic conditions from HCl protonate the alcohol, making it a better leaving group for substitution by a chloride ion, leading to the formation of an alkyl chloride.
