About This Product
Hydrochloric acid is used to teach the behaviour of strong acids, neutralisation and the chemistry of chloride salts. Only the quantity needed is measured out, in a ventilated area or fume hood where required, and dilution is done by adding acid slowly to water following the approved procedure. Users wear a lab coat, chemical-resistant gloves and goggles, since the acid is corrosive and gives off irritating vapour.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How is hydrochloric acid diluted safely?
By adding the acid slowly to water, following the approved laboratory procedure, while wearing chemical-resistant gloves, goggles and face protection.
