Muratic acid is another name for hydrochloric acid, so it is not the same thing as sulfuric acid.
muratic acid
Formula: HCl
Muratic Acid
not sure
muriatic acid should not cause discolouration to concrete it will eat it away though.
No, you should not substitute muriatic acid for battery acid. Battery acid is typically sulfuric acid, which has different properties and concentrations than muriatic acid. Substituting one for the other can damage the battery and may be dangerous.
a mild acid is probably the best way. If the window is wrapped in aluminum, use vinegar, straight from the bottle. It may take a few applications but the bubbles indicate that the acid is cutting the minerals in the concrete. If the window ISN'T wrapped in aluminum, you might try a WEAK solution of muratic acid. Mix with water, using about 3 parts water to 1 part muratic acid. When working with murtic acid, make sure you use eye protection (preferrably a face shield), long sleeves, rubber gloves and have water close to wash off any mixture that splashes on your skin. Also, any cloths you wear will be destroyed so pick something that you plan to throw away.
Yes, aluminum is reactive with acid.
Muriatic acid can be used to clean dishwashers. Muriatic acid is very strong and should only be used occasionally for cleaning the dishwasher.
Hydrochloric acid can dissolve aluminum but not nickel. Aluminum forms a soluble aluminum chloride compound in hydrochloric acid, while nickel does not react with hydrochloric acid due to its passivation layer.
Muriatic acid, which is another name for hydrochloric acid, is considered an inorganic compound. It is a strong mineral acid composed of hydrogen and chlorine and is not derived from living organisms.
