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.
Uses and Occurrences
- Industrial reagent in metal purification and divine fabrication.
- Atmospheric component of Venus-Like Atmosphere worlds.
- Ritual purification fluid in alchemical rebirth rites.
- Catalyst for dissolution of Contradictium residue in divine forges.
Related Atmospheres
- Venus-Like Atmosphere
- Flatus (trace reactive)
- PermianLike (industrial emission)
Trivia
- Called “The Breath of Judgment” by the high chemists of Aerenda.
- Historical texts describe it as the blood of reborn worlds — matter’s repentance through dissolution.
