Preparation of Hydrochloric Acid ( HCl )

Preparation Of Hydrochloric Acid ( HCl ).

Warning
Hydrochloric acid is corrosive to the eyes, skin, and mucous membranes. Acute (short-term) inhalation exposure may cause eye, nose, and respiratory tract irritation and inflammation and pulmonary edema in humans.
Burning pain, redness, and blisters on the skin if exposed to gas. Skin injuries similar to frostbite can occur if it is exposed to liquid chlorine. Burning sensation in the nose, throat, and eyes.
Process:

start by dissolving 23g 0f salt in 250ml of water then pour the solution in jar and also hang the electrode inside the jar connect the negative ( cathode ) terminal with carbon or graphite electrode and copper or zinc electrode with positive ( anode ) electrode. place the the tube in
test tube containing 10ml of water. turn on the power supply and wait for one hour. after one hour turn off the power supply and HCl is ready
reaction:
2H+ + 2e–→ H2 [negative electrode, cathode]

2Cl–→ Cl2 + 2e– [positive electrode, anode]

H2O → H+ + OH–

Na+ + OH- → NaOH

reaction in test tube:
Cl2 + H2O → HCl + HOCl

Information:

Hydrochloric acid, also known as muriatic acid, is an aqueous solution of hydrogen chloride. It is a colorless solution with a distinctive pungent smell. It is classified as a strong acid. It is a component of the gastric acid in the digestive systems of most animal species, including humans.
Properties:
Chemical formula: HCl(aq)
Appearance: Colorless, transparent liquid, fumes in air if concentrated
Odor: Pungent characteristic
Melting point: Concentration-dependent
Boiling point: Concentration-dependent
log P: 0.00
Acidity (pKa): −5.9 (HCl gas)

This won't produce HCl but an equilibrium product known as chlorine water. It requires UVB light to break down HOCl into Cl2 and water.
