Is muriatic acid a compound or mixture?

Muriatic acid, also known as hydrochloric acid, is a compound. It is a chemical substance composed of hydrogen and chlorine atoms.


How do you shock a pool using muriatic acid?

You can't! Muriatic acid (~32% HCL) will not add any free chlorine to the pool and will not function as a oxidizer (Shock).


What is the result of mixing chlorine and muriatic acid to metal?

Mixing a chlorine solution with any acid has the potential to release chlorine gas, which can be fatal if exposed to enough of it. If Chlorine gas comes in contact with water, or a mucus membrane (such as your eyes, nasal passage, or lungs) it will form Hydrochloric acid.Chlorine IS a GAS, at standard temperature and pressure [basically, normal ambient atmospheric temperature and pressure]. Chlorine gas mixed with water makes Hydrochloric Acid. IF one dissolves as much Chlorine into water as the water will hold, then one has created Concentrated Hydrochloric Acid [better known as Muriatic Acid]. Therefore, if trying to mix Chlorine gas into Muriatic Acid [Concentrated Hydrochloric Acid] the result is that the gas will only "pass through" [bubble through] the already fully concentrated liquid acid. Yes, there will be gas released, but not from any kind of chemical reaction, only by bubbling through, because the the concentrated acid can/will take NO MORE Chlorine gas.


Is muriatic acid an ionic bond or covalent bond?

Muriatic acid, which is another name for hydrochloric acid, is an example of a covalent bond. It consists of a hydrogen atom bonded to a chlorine atom through a single covalent bond, where they share electrons.


What gas is produced when hydrochloric acid is added to muriatic acid?

Nothing happens. The two are different names for the same chemical. If the two are different concentrations, though, the effect will be like adding water to the more concentrated one. Like when adding water and acid, heat and splashing may occur! Do this safely with proper protective gear, and with the container able to accept any heat generated due to the water + acid.


Is muriatic acid a covalent?

First of all 'Muriatic Acid' is the historical/archaic name for Hydrochloric Acid. Hydrochloric Acid exists as ions when dissolved in water.


What is the result of mixing chlorine and muriatic acid?

Mixing chlorine and muriatic acid can produce toxic chlorine gas, which can cause respiratory issues, eye irritation, and other health problems. It is important to never mix these two chemicals together as it can result in a dangerous situation.


Is powder conditioner used for the same result as using muratic acid?

No, powder conditioner and muriatic acid serve different purposes in pool maintenance. Powder conditioner is typically used to stabilize chlorine levels and protect against UV breakdown, while muriatic acid is used to lower pH and total alkalinity levels in swimming pools. Both are crucial for maintaining balanced water chemistry, but they have distinct functions.


Can muriatic acid be added to a pool with bleach in it?

Yes there should be no problem with that.


Does pool acid kill chlorine?

pool acid, also known as hydrochlorous acid, is actually a chlorinating agent, in addition to being an oxidizing agent. that is, it will *produce* some small amounts of aqueous chlorine, as opposed to eliminating it.


Can you use muriatic acid to get rid of water bugs?

NO ! All the acid does is modify the pH, hopefully so the chlorine can do it's job.
