Give two uses of HCl.

✓

Answer

Hydrogen chloride (OR hydrochloric acid) is used :

in the manufacture of chlorine and ammonium chloride,
to manufacture glucose from com, starch
to manufacture dye
in mediClne and galvanising
as an important reagent in the laboratory
to extract glue from bones and for the purification of bone black.
for dissolving metals, $Fe + 2HCl_{(aq)} \rightarrow FeCl_2 + H_{2(g)}$
