    Hydrochloric acid - Wikipedia

    • Hydrochloric acid, also known as muriatic acid or spirits of salt, is an aqueous solution of hydrogen chloride (HCl). It is a colorless solution with a distinctive pungent smell. It is classified as a strong acid. It is a component of the gastric acid in the digestive systems of most animal species, including humans. Hydrochloric acid is an important laboratory reag… See more

    What is the function of hydrochloric acid (HCL) in stomach?

    Dr. Anet Varghese

    Doctor of Medicine (MBBS) · 1 years of exp

    Hydrochloric acid provides an acidic environment in the stomach which kills bacteria that may enter with the food. It also prevents the growth of harmful microorganisms in the gut. Also, gastric juice in the stomach also contains pepsinogen. Hydrochloric acid activates this inactive form of enzyme into the active form, pepsin. Pepsin breaks down proteins into polypeptides.

    Is HCl a strong acid?
    The resulting solution is called hydrochloric acid and is a strong acid. The acid dissociation or ionization constant, Ka, is large, which means HCl dissociates or ionizes practically completely in water. Even in the absence of water, hydrogen chloride can still act as an acid.
