Hydrochloric acid is a clear, colourless solution of hydrogen chloride (HCl) in water. It is a highly corrosive, strong mineral acid with many industrial uses. Hydrochloric acid is found naturally in gastric acid.
Historically called muriatic acid, and spirits of salt, hydrochloric acid was produced from vitriol (sulfuric acid) and common salt. It first appeared during the Renaissance,[verification needed] and then it was used by chemists such as Glauber, Priestley and Davy in their scientific research.
With major production starting in the Industrial Revolution, hydrochloric acid is used in the chemical industry as a chemical reagent in the large-scale production of vinyl chloride for PVC plastic, and MDI/TDI for polyurethane. It has numerous smaller-scale applications, including householdcleaning, production of gelatin and other food additives, descaling, and leather processing. About 20

    The first urethane was synthesised, by this route, as early as 1849 by Wurtz. In 1937, following very systematic and intensive research works at IG Farbenindustrie, in Germany, Dr. Otto Bayer synthesised the first polyurethane, by the reaction of a diisocyanate with a polyester having two terminal hydroxyl groups (called polyester diol, in fact an α,ω−telechelic polymer with terminal hydroxyl groups) (Mihail Ionescu, 2011):…

    hydrogen chloride has properties: Hydrogen chloride has one molecule of hydrogen and one molecule of chlorine: Hydrogen chloride has a very powerful smell. It is in the form of a gas but only when it is at room temperature which is approximately 25 Celsius and when the pressure is high. The solubility of hydrogen chloride is very high this means that it can dissolve in water quickly because it dissolves many times in its own solution (the gas form of hydrogen chloride). It is very soluble because the smaller the chain of the molecules are then the energy required in small quantities however if the chain is long then it will need more energy so that means that the longer chain will have a slow reaction and the longer the chain the chances…
