Not just unbalanced but insane. There is no compound with the formula HCI. HCl, yes but not HCI.

What is the difference between formula H 2 and formula HCI?

H2 is the formula for pure Hydrogen gas, whereas HCl is Hydrochloric Acid, which is a compound of Hydrogen and Chlorine.


Does HCI lower the boiling point of water more than HC2H3O2 does?

No, HCI does not lower the boiling point of water more than HC2H3O2. The extent to which a solute lowers the boiling point of a solvent depends on its concentration and its nature, not its formula.


How many elements are in hci?

HCI is Hydrogen (H), Carbon (C) and Iodine (I). Therefore, you have three elements in one molecule of HCI. Although, HCI is not balanced, so, that would actually be an ion, with negative charge.


What is the chemical HCI?

Hydrogen chloride, HCl it is a very strong acid. However you mistyped the name: it is not HCI (with capital 'I') but HCl (with lower case 'l', small letter of L). That may be the reason you couldn't find it in chemical formula indexes. (HCI could be erroneously named hydrogen chloric iodide but it is chemically impossible).


How do you tell if a reaction is blalanced?

if there is the same number of atoms on both sides e.g Mg + HcI-------------> Mg + HcI^2 (HcI squared) this is an unbalanced reaction because there is more chlorine on the right side than the left side. so when you balance the equation it will look like this: MG + HcI^2------------------>Mg +HcI^2


What causes HCl to become an acid?

HCl becomes an acid when it dissociates in water to produce hydrogen ions (H+) and chloride ions (Cl-). The presence of hydrogen ions in solution gives HCl its acidic properties, such as the ability to donate protons and lower the pH of a solution.


Is the formula HCI a base?

If you meant HCl, Hydrochloric Acid, it is a strong acid and not a base. A way to tell if it is an acid is that it has an H+ in the chemical formula. Most of the time, if it is a base it has an OH- attached to the chemical formula, but this is not necessarily true for all bases.
