A common name for hydrochloric acid is
Hydrochloric acid was known to European alchemists as spirits of salt or acidum salis (salt acid). Both names are still used, especially in other languages, such as German: Salzsaeure, Salzsäure: Dutch, Zoutzuur: Swedish, saltsyra And: polish kwas. solnyt was historically called acidum salis, muriatic acid, and spirits of salt because it was produced from rock salt and green vitriol (by Basilius Valentinus in the 15th century) and later from the chemically similar substances common salt and sulfuric acid (by Johann Rudolph Glauber in the 17th century). It is an aqueous solution of HCl, which is a strong acid and therefore dissolves fully in the solvent (water) existing as it's constituent ions H+ and Cl-, separated and interacting with the very polar water molecules. Hydrochloric acid cannot be simply dried/evaporated to create Hydrogen Chloride.Hydrogen Chloride is the anhydrous form of the molecule HCl as a ionic molecule. It is sometimes referred to as dry HCl or HCl(g), since there is no solvent present and at STP it exists as a gas.This Hydrogen Chloride can be simply bubbled through water to produce Hydrochloric acid. Hydrochloric acid is the chemical name of hydrochloric acid (symbol HCl).   It is also sometimes called muriatic acid, but this is not its chemical name. 3 people found this useful. Edit.

Solny HCl hcl was called marine acid. airt was historically called acidum salis, muriatic acid, and spirits of salt because it was produced from rock salt and green vitriol (by Basilius Valentinus in the 15th century) and later from the chemically similar substances common salt and sulfuric acid (by Johann Rudolph Glauber in the 17th century). Hydrochloric acid is a clear, colorless, highly pungent solution of hydrogen chloride (H Cl) in water.t was historically called acidum salis, muriatic acid, and spirits of salt because it was produced from rock salt and green vitriol (by Basilius Valentinus in the 15th century) and later from the chemically similar substances common salt and sulfuric acid (by Johann Rudolph Glauber in the 17th century). 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.t was historically called acidum salis, muriatic acid, and spirits of salt because it was produced from rock salt and green vitriol (by Basilius Valentinus in the 15th century) and later from the chemically similar substances common salt and sulfuric acid (by Johann Rudolph Glauber in the 17th century). Hydrochloric acid is the aqueous solution of hydrogen chloride gas (H Cl). It is a strong acid, the major component of gastric acid, and of wide industrial use.Hydrochloric acid must be handled with appropriate safety precautions because it is a highly-corrosive liquid.f the seven common strong acids in chemistry, all of them inorganic, hydrochloric acid is the monoprotic acid least likely to undergo an interfering oxidation-reduction reaction. It is one of the least hazardous strong acids to handle; despite its acidity, it produces the less reactive and non-toxic chloride ion.   Hydrochloric acid is the chemical name of hydrochloric acid (symbol HCl).   It is also sometimes called muriatic acid, but this is not its chemical name.3 people found this useful. Edit.

Ternary acids commonly contain hydrogen, a nonmetal, and oxygen. The name of the most common form of the acid consists of the nonmetal root name with the-ic ending, The acid containing one less oxygen atom than the most common form is designated by the-ous ending.An acid containing one less oxygen atom than the-ous acid has the prefix hypo-and the-ous ending.he name of the most common form of the acid consists of the nonmetal root name with the-ic ending, The acid containing one less oxygen atom than the most common form is designated by the-ous ending.
