HydroChloric Acid (HCl)

« Back to Glossary Index

HydroChloric Acid (AKA Hydrogen Chloric Acid) is a strong corrosive mineral liquid formed when dissolving hydrochloric gas in water. Although it is a strong liquid acid, it is considered to be the least hazardous of the six common strong mineral acids used in chemistry, because it consists of non-reactive and non-toxic chloride ions.

HCA is frequently used in chemical analysis to prepare samples for analysis. Concentrated HCA dissolves many metals and forms oxidized metal chlorides and hydrogen gas. It also reacts with basic compounds such as calcium carbonate or copper oxide.

In algae production, hydrochloric acid is used to regulate pH levels.

Safety Hazard Alert!

Concentrated HCA forms acidic fumes that have a corrosive effect on human tissue, and can potentially damage the respiratory system, eyes, skin, and intestines irreversibly. It should, therefore, be handled with extra care, preferably with someone with chemistry experience.

Where to Buy HydroChloric Acid

This is the only HCA product we found on Amazon that had good reviews. If you come across more products like this, please let us know so that other growers can find them too.
