Hydrochloric acid, also known as muriatic acid or spirits of salt, is an aqueous solution of hydrogen chloride (HCl). It is a colorless solution with a distinctive pungent smell. It is classified as a strong acid .
If the concentration of a sulfuric acid solution is c(H 2 SO 4) = 1 mol/L, then its normality is 2 N. It can also be called a "2 normal" solution. It can also be called a "2 normal" solution. Similarly, for a solution with c (H 3 PO 4 ) = 1 mol/L, the normality is 3 N because phosphoric acid contains 3 acidic H atoms.
HCl + H 2 O → [H 3 O] + + Cl −. The resulting solution is called hydrochloric acid and is a strong acid. The acid dissociation or ionization constant, K a, is large, which means HCl dissociates or ionizes practically completely in water. Even in the absence of water, hydrogen chloride can still act as an acid.
Enthalpy change of solution in water at 25 °C for some selected compounds [2] Compound ΔH o in kJ/mol; hydrochloric acid: −74.84 ammonium nitrate +25.69 ammonia: −30.50 potassium hydroxide: −57.61 caesium hydroxide: −71.55 sodium chloride +3.87 potassium chlorate +41.38 acetic acid: −1.51 sodium hydroxide: −44.50
Molar concentration or molarity is most commonly expressed in units of moles of solute per litre of solution. [1] For use in broader applications, it is defined as amount of substance of solute per unit volume of solution, or per unit volume available to the species, represented by lowercase : [2]
C 6 H 6 + CH 3 Cl → C 6 H 5 CH 3 + HCl C 6 H 6 + 2 CH 3 Cl → C 6 H 4 (CH 3) 2 + 2 HCl C 6 H 6 + n CH 3 Cl → C 6 H 6−n (CH 3) n + n HCl. In this example, which reaction takes place is controlled in part by the relative concentrations of the reactants.
For gases, departure from 3 R per mole of atoms is generally due to two factors: (1) failure of the higher quantum-energy-spaced vibration modes in gas molecules to be excited at room temperature, and (2) loss of potential energy degree of freedom for small gas molecules, simply because most of their atoms are not bonded maximally in space to ...
The relative activity of a species i, denoted a i, is defined [4] [5] as: = where μ i is the (molar) chemical potential of the species i under the conditions of interest, μ o i is the (molar) chemical potential of that species under some defined set of standard conditions, R is the gas constant, T is the thermodynamic temperature and e is the exponential constant.
