Hydrochloric acid is hydrogen chloride disolved in water and there's a limit to the strentgh of the solution because past a certain concentration it becomes saturated and you can't get any more of the gas disolved in it.audioguru said:He said the hydrochloric acid was only 30% so I guess it was diluted with 70% water.

Hero999 said:Because the acidity comes from the hydrogen chloride gas which is more volatile than water it will become less acidic when boiled.
jpanhalt said:It has to do with azeotropes.
Hero999 said:What if you put the 20% hydrochloric acid in to a sealed chamber filled with hydrogen chloride gass at a pressure of 2 bar?
Would the water in the acid soak up the gas and become stronger?
