Emphatically no! Iron or steel will rapidly dissolve in hydrochloric acid generating hydrogen gas. Even stainless steel is not very good for containing hydrochloric acid. Chloride ions are highly corrosive and cause normal grades of stainless to pit and crack.
The best bet (besides avoiding it altogether) is glass (as it is stored in a laboratory) or plastic - PVC, polyethylene, or polypropylene.

∙ 9y agoNo,and the reason is that acid reacts with iron and carbon that forms steel which is used to make the container.

Why does the reaction of iron and copper chloride occur?
The reaction occurs because iron is more reactive then the copper is. The more reactive metal wants to create a compound, which is why it forms iron chloride. Copper, being the less reactive substance wants to become pure and separates from the chloride to be on its own.
What bond is formed in a reaction between iron and copper II chloride?
Copper and some yello gross stuff
What happens when iron reacts with chlorine?
A chemical reaction ! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Are you thick?? two halogens cannot react there shall be no reaction between iodine and chlorine
What is the name of the compound FeCl2?
Iron(III) Chloride / Ferric Chloride / Iron Trichloride
Is iron chloride a solid?
Iron(II) chloride or ferrous chloride as well as iron(III) chloride or ferric chloride are both solids.
What is produced with iron and copper II chloride?
copper and iron (II) chloride
What happen when copper sulphate is stored in iron vessel?
Since iron is a more active metal than copper, the iron would replace the copper in the copper sulfate, forming iron sulfate, and releasing elemental copper. The copper will not shape itself into a copper vessel, so eventually, the iron sulfate would leak out of the iron vessel, and eventually, if there is enough copper sulfate, the iron vessel will cease to exist.
What is the state symbol for copper chloride?
CuCl2
Can you store copper sulphate solution in silver vessel but not in aluminium vessel?
It is not possible to store copper sulphate solution in iron vessel.since ,iron is more reactive than copper,it displaces copper from any if its solution.the reaction takes place as , Fe(s)+CuSo4(aq)..............>FeSo4(aq)+Cu(s) (Blue color(light green solution)solution)
What happens when copper chloride is mixed with iron?
the iron turns into copper, this means it goes a redish colour. this is because iron is stronger than copper, so the iron takes over and bags the chloride for itself. which makes iron chloride. CuCo2 + Fe = FeCo2 + Cu CopperChloride + iron = IronChloride + Copper
What metal can displace iron from iron chloride Zinc or iron or Copper?
zinc
Decomposition of FeCl3 to FeCl2 where am i going wrong?
Iron(III) chloride can react with iron or copper and form iron (II) chloride.
Why does the reaction of iron and copper chloride occur?
The reaction occurs because iron is more reactive then the copper is. The more reactive metal wants to create a compound, which is why it forms iron chloride. Copper, being the less reactive substance wants to become pure and separates from the chloride to be on its own.
What can't be separated by physical means?
Copper chloride iron and iron ore
What is the net ionic equation for iron II chloride and copper?
There is no reaction.
I am trying to work out the feasability of FeCl3 decomposing to FeCl2 but can't see where im going wrong?
Iron(III) chloride can react with iron or copper and form iron (II) chloride.
What is the balanced single replacement equation for Iron and Copper II chloride?
Yes they are
