Three Kinds of Hydrochloric Acid?

Damonk13 · Post by **Damonk13** » Fri Nov 30, 2001 1:28 am

of course, you DO realize that it's a SECRET blend, and while modern science may only have ONE hydrochloric acid formula, well we at FRAMED!!! industries can't give away our secrets...Oh, you want proof, do ya?Well, fine!The three formulae we use are --- heyyyyy, wait a sec! You tried to trick us!Guards! Guards!!!!!...actually, i am well aware that there is only one "standard" molecular formula for HCl -- English Majors aren't ALL just about pretty words and faces, dotcha know. It was a subtle jab making fun of how advertisers often promise/boast the silliest impossibilities... nice to see that someone picked up on it, although i shouldn't be surprised that you did, petie... <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/biggrin.gif">

What is it with me and getting accosted, today? Do I just reek of trouble? *sniff sniff* Must be that new Calvin Klein scent, Eau de Miscreant. As for those ads... I love the ones that claim to be "chemical free". You're a smart, smart man Damonk. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif">

Damonk, now come on. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/wink.gif"> I'm all about comic exagerration, but when it toes into chemistry's turf, I have to discuss. The only way one batch of HCl can be different from another is the concentration, and when you mix all three together, you get a new concentration, so it's just one larger batch. Sorry, I'm chained to the XPS for the next 7 hours, and felt the need to explain. I still loves ya, though. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif">------------------

Well, you could have HCl with different isotopes. Like deuterium and tritium for the "H"... eg: heavy hydrochloric acid

That raises a standard point of contention, and one of (ugh) semantics. Technically, the trivial name "hydrochloric acid" can only be applied to HCl(technical name, hydrogen chloride), whereas DCl (the deuterated form) would be called deuterium chloride, and TCl would be tritium chloride. In practice, most people will refer to them as DCl and TCl respectively, though I'm sure they've often been refered to as "heavy hydrochloric acid". In that case, you'd need to specify which isotope, to avoid confusion. Seeing as I don't like semantic discussions all that much, let's go from your point, and see where that leads us.
Now, let's assume that Damonk had three types of hydrochloric acid: HCl, DCl and TCl. Each of these is a strong acid: that is, they completely dissociate into their respective ions immediately in solution (H+ and C- for HCl, D+ and Cl- for DCl, and T+ and Cl- for TCl). So, you have 4 different types of ions floating around in this face cream. Naturally, the positive ions will want to be surrounded by negative ions, and vice versa, but that doesn't neccessarily mean that you will have the same H+ paired with the same Cl-, soforth and so on for all ions. Even though you'd put three acids into the mix, the end result would be a conglomeration of the three, not three neat and easily separable entities. Can you tell I have a lot of waiting with my current experiment? I'm sorry if I bored anybody, but Rob, you brought up a really good point. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif">------------------
