Muriatic Acid

[DANIELS@LMSBW1.TAMU.EDU (Lee Daniels, Texas A&M University)]

For Will Zehring and anybody else who cares:

Muriatic Acid (the industrial term for HCl solution) is nominally about
30-35% HCl, i.e. just a little less concentrated than the "pure"
concentrated HCl (36.5-38%) that chemical supply houses sell.  When the
concentration is not all that important (as in etching concrete), some
shops use the two interchangeably.
