I came across a book that said if you add HCl (acid) to a saturated NaCl solution, then the crystallization process of that salt will be accelerated. Is this true, and if so, how? Edit: As it is with these things, I find the solution immediately after making this post. Here is a youtube video:

If my understanding is correct, the polar covalent bond in HCl creates a polar molecule because the molecule is unsymmetrical. 1. Does this mean that the partially positive H of one HCl molecule will be attracted to the partially negative Cl of another HCl molecule and vice versa, to create a...

Does anyone happen to know if Cl2+KH > KCl + HCl? And if it does, what is the reasoning? Is it because Cl2 prefers an ionic bond rather than a covalent bond?

There is 0.019243 mol of CaCO3, and therefore 0.038485 mol of HCL. There is 0011505 mol of HCl in excess after reacting it with CaCO3. The concentration of HCl after water is added is 0.11515 mol/dm3. There is 0.0011515 mol of HCl in 10 cm3 of the new solution, and the same number of moles of...

I do not have a clear concept about half-reactions...Can someone please give the half reactions for following reaction, Zn^0 + 2H^1 Cl^-1 -----> Zn^+2 Cl2^-1 + H2^0 or Zn + HCl ----> ZnCl2 + H2

I know that HCl is a compound whose 1 molecule is composed of 1 hydrogen and 1 chlorine atom bonded co-valently to each other, the bond being polar co-valent. It exists in gaseous state at room temperature. When HCl gas is dissolved in water, it dissociates to furnish H+ ions and thus HCl...

I dissolved zinc in HCl until it stopped fizzing - all the Zn is gone so there may be some HCl left. I have a purple/violet liquid that I assume is zinc chloride. When I brush newly cut mild steel or iron with the solution, I get copper/brass coloured plating that does not rub off. I have no...

Hi, I've calibrated our pH meter using 4.01 and 7.01 buffer solution, but I'm not sure if the probe has dried out at some point. So I want to check the calibration, I have some HCl > 37% that I can use. Just a quick question, since pH is on a log scale so I have to make solutions every ten...

I've verified that there is no obvious reaction between hydrochloric acid and simple alkanes (roughly C4-C12) over short timescales; they simply settle out with the heavier HCl on the bottom and the lighter hydrocarbons on the top, with no apparent heating or changes in general properties (as...

Hello! I am trying to crack the following problem: What is the pH of a solution formed by mixing 125.0 mL of 0.0250 M HCl with 75.0 mL of 0.0500 M NaOH? Here is how I am approaching the issue: both HCl and NaOH are strong acid and base respectively. Hence the concentration of [H3O+] =...

I just remembered that in my lab from a few months ago, the 12M HCl we used was "evaporating" or producing gas, similar to dry ice in water but no where near as much vapor. I'm just curious, is concentrated HCl usually like that or was the acid contaminated?

Homework Statement At 10 C, the concentration of OH in 1 M of HCl is approximately: Answer: 3x10^15 Homework Equations Kw=KaKb The Attempt at a Solution This answer throws me off. If we assume that HCl completely dissociates, we use the [H+] from the acid in the above equation: 1x10^-14 = 1...

The force (spring) constant of HCl 477.8 N/m, and the force constant of DCl is 487.95. Why should these values differ by 10 N/m? Is a D-Cl bond somehow stronger than an H-Cl bond?

Homework Statement Graphite does not react with HCl as I saw in a previous lab. However, I looked at activity series on google and they all have carbon as more reactive than hydrogen, so theoretically graphite should react with HCl. However, this is not the case. Homework Equations No...

since HCl dissociates in H+ and Cl- like NaCl then why it is not ionic still?? tell except electronegativity diff?

I had this synthesis question on my last midterm and got it wrong. I was wondering if someone here could point me in the right direction. It is a thiophene synthesis that starts off with a 1,4 diketone, but instead of P2S5 or Lawesson's reagent, H2S and HCl are used. I tried to hydrate one of...

I have thought the HCl is an ionic compound since it disassociates in water. However I read in my chemistry book that HCl is molecular. So what is it? Are all acids molecular or just the ones like HF, HCl, HBr, etc?

Homework Statement What will the pH be by adding 1M HCL and 1M NaOH to pure water? Homework Equations pH= -log[H+] The Attempt at a Solution Well, If we form the reaction formula we get HCl + NaOH ---> H20 + NaCl This is a neutralizing reaction, so the net effect produces just water...

Homework Statement During a chem lesson my professor was demonstrating Coulomb's law using HCl. Fe = kq1q2/r^2 so what he did was he replaced q1 and q2 with 0.17 and -0.17. Then he showed an example with LiF and then replaced q1 and a2 with 1 and -1. I think he was trying to...

The bonds between H and Cl are strong, almost close to ionic, right? Thus if that is the case why does HCl readily ionize into H+ and Cl- upon contact with water? It doesn't make sense that such a strongly bonded compound should completely disassociate upon contact with water. Further, why does...

As a home chemist I don't have access to Hydrochloric acid, however I did find some limescale remover that claimed to contain 6.75% HCl. This substance is blue and soapy. Any ideas on how I could isolate just the HCl? (Obviously dissolved in water)

I want to know why HCl is a much stronger acid than H2O.They have similar bond energies (H-Cl = 427 kJ/mol, O-H = 467 kJ/mol), so there should be easy to ionize both. Besides, O is more electronegative than Cl, so it should "steal" the electron easier. Why is HCl Ka so superior than water Kw?
