== Overview == | == Overview == | ||
''' | '''Hydrochloric Acid''' (HCl) is both a corrosive acid and a gaseous halide — a dual-state compound symbolizing purification through dissolution. In the [[Continuum Universes]], it manifests as a choking vapor within [[Venus-like Atmosphere]] atmospheres and as a potent liquid in divine refineries and volcanic pools. Its vaporous and liquid forms are regarded as two faces of the same corrosive archetype: the physical embodiment of judgment and renewal. | ||
== Physical and Chemical Properties == | |||
HCl is a simple diatomic molecule that fully dissociates in water into hydronium (H₃O⁺) and chloride (Cl⁻) ions. Its aqueous solution forms the basis of many acid reactions and serves as a universal measure of acidity. The gas is heavier than air and forms acidic mists upon contact with moisture. At psionic resonance frequencies, hydrochloric acid emits faint yellow-green light, marking entropy flux boundaries in [[Venus-like Atmosphere]] weather systems. | |||
== Phases == | |||
=== Gaseous HCl === | |||
Found in volcanic plumes and corrosive atmospheres, it contributes to acid clouds and rain formation. Reactive yet stable, it plays a key role in halide formation and atmospheric chlorine cycling. | |||
=== Liquid Hydrochloric Acid === | |||
Produced by dissolving gaseous HCl in water. The solution is strongly acidic and capable of dissolving most metals, releasing [[Hydrogen]] gas. Used widely in divine metallurgy, purification, and planetary synthesis. | |||
== | === Aqueous and Psionic Forms === | ||
Concentrated acid mixtures may form psionic *aetheric mists* capable of eroding aura matter. Such “living acid” is said to cleanse corrupted constructs and sever karmic bonds. | |||
