Hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4) are two of the most commonly used acids in various industries and laboratory settings. While both acids are highly corrosive and have similar applications, they differ in terms of their chemical composition, properties, and uses.

Mar 27, 2018 · The water removed from hydrochloric acid produce a vapour of hydrogen chloride. The solution is effervescent. There should not be a green colour unless the test tube was contaminated.

H2SO4 is a diprotic acid, meaning it can donate two protons in a reaction, while HCl is a monoprotic acid, donating only one proton. Additionally, H2SO4 is a stronger acid than HCl, as it has a lower pH and higher corrosive properties.

Jul 3, 2017 · The main difference between hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid is that hydrochloric acid is monoprotic whereas sulfuric acid is diprotic. Both hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid are very important in laboratory practices.

If they are dilute, yes. Otherwise, you will want to add cold H2SO4 very slowly to cold HCl, in a fume hood. Or you can mix HCl with a sulfate salt, it just won't be as strong of an acid.

HCl + H2SO4 = HSO3Cl + H2O is a Double Displacement (Metathesis) reaction where one mole of Hydrogen Chloride [HCl] and one mole of Sulfuric Acid [H 2 SO 4] react to form one mole of Chlorosulfonic Acid [HSO 3 Cl] and one mole of Water [H 2 O]

Jan 6, 2025 · H2SO4 is oxidised by HI and not oxidised by HCl. What happens when HCl reacts with H2SO4? In this reaction, HCl reacts with H2SO4 to produce hydronium ions (H3O*) and hydrogen sulfate ions (HSO4-).

Nov 27, 2023 · Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) is a strong acid derived from hydrogen chloride in water; Sulfuric Acid (H₂SO₄) is a strong mineral acid made of sulfur, oxygen, and hydrogen. Hydrochloric Acid and Sulfuric Acid are both potent acids, but they originate from different compounds and have varied applications.

Oct 10, 2024 · Hydrochloric acid is a strong, monoprotic acid used in metal processing and pH regulation, while sulfuric acid, a strong diprotic acid, is used in fertilizer production and chemical synthesis.

In the chemistry lab, I stupidly decided to mix hydrochloric acid and sulphuric acid, both concentrated, in a random ratio, which was about $\pu {50 ml}$.
