HCL Hydrogen chloride Gas

Hydrogen chloride, or HCl, is a colorless, highly corrosive gas with several industrial applications. It is commonly used in the production of PVC plastics and inorganic chemicals, such as chlorides and fertilizers. It is also used in the semiconductor industry as a cleaning agent and in the food industry as an acidifying agent. However, HCl is highly toxic and can pose a serious health hazard if not handled properly. As such, it must be handled with care and caution in a laboratory or industrial setting, and appropriate safety measures must be taken to prevent accidents and exposure to this hazardous gas.
