Collecting chlorine gas through electrolysis and mixing it with water to create hydrochloric acid (HCl) poses significant challenges, particularly due to the low concentration of chlorine produced, which may not effectively react with water. Chlorine gas is highly toxic, and safety concerns are paramount, suggesting that individuals should refrain from such experiments until they have a stronger understanding of chemistry. While some participants acknowledge the desire to create HCl, they emphasize that purchasing hydrochloric acid is generally safer and more practical. For those unable to buy it, further research into safe and effective methods of synthesis is recommended, while also considering safer experimental alternatives.
