STORY TIME LINE IN "BUNTY OR BUBLI WAY"
Hcl Story
Once upon a time there lived two friends H and Cl…they lived in the farthest corners of the great bugle called periodic table…both had great affinity for each other owing to their contrasting sizes..H was smaller while Cl was bigger and stronger…
However,their contrasting sizes never kept their friendship apart,they were both fun loving, and separately were harmless..but when they came together they formed an extremely dangerous and poisonous pairing
They were first written about by Jabir Ibn Hayyan in 800AD..he gave them pet name of “Spirit(s) of Salts”
Their combined weight was 36.46g/mol…they loved to hangout in a bar called as the “polar solvents”
After sometime they both decided to get married,they built a home in a cool,dry place away from sunlight,heat and water
While H got married to OH,Cl decided to get married to H2..they both were blessed with babies..while H named his baby as”chloride Cl-“ ..Cl named his baby “hydronium H3O+”
HCl + H2O → H3O+ + Cl−
One fine day..they both due to large value of their ionization constant fell ill and went to see a doctor”DR.IUPAC”..the doctor gave the following report:
· IUPAC name: Hydrochloric Acid
· other names: Muriatic acid, Spirit(s) of Salt(acidum salis)
· molar mass: 36.46 g/mol (HCl)
· Appearance: Clear colorless to
light-yellow liquid
· Density: 1.18g/cm3
· Melting point: −27.32 °C (247 K)
38% solution.
· Boiling point: 110 °C (383 K),
20.2% solution.
· Solubility: miscible in polar solvents
· Acidity(pKa): -8.0
· Viscosity: 1.9 mPa·s at 25 °C,
31.5% solution
The doctor studied their report and deemed them fit to mingle in the general chemicals..
But, ALAS!! there was no peace in their lives because despite being hugely talented their properties could not get them jobs
Their wives used to scold them daily and their married life was on verge of destruction..
Dejected, they both decided to work day and night to support their families
They both applied in the steel industry and because of their properties they got selected
They were used by their employees in pickling of steel, to remove rust or iron oxide scale from iron or steel before subsequent processing, such as extrusion, rolling, galvanizing, and other techniques.
Fe2O3 + Fe + 6 HCl → 3 FeCl2 + 3 H2O
But their family was huge and they couldn’t sustain it by the measly wages…so they started a manufacturing shop with Mr.Organic and began producing PVC . Other compounds they produced with Mr.Organic include bisphenol A for polycarbonate, activated carbon, and ascorbic acid, as well as numerous pharmaceutical products.
As they grew successful,so did their appetite for fame and money..they moved to a bigger stage and joined hands with Mr.Inorganic who lured them in the web of water treatment chemicals and battery production
Their products include water treatment chemicals such as iron(III) chloride and polyaluminium chloride (PAC).
Fe2O3 + 6 HCl à 2 FeCl3 + 3 H2O
Both iron(III) chloride and PAC were advertised as flocculation and coagulation agents in wastewater treatment, drinking water production, and paper production.
Other compounds they produced together included road application salt calcium chloride, nickel(II) chloride for electroplating, and zinc chloride for the galvanizing industry and battery production.
But,as time wheel spun they turned evil..they began controlling the underworld which people fearfully called as “pH”and authorized everything from process water streams to swimming pools
Apart from this malice they also began kidnapping and changing the government run by a large group called the CATIONS
Cat ion exchange was widely used to remove ions such as Na+ and Ca2+ from aqueous solutions, producing demineralized water.
Na+ is replaced by H3O+
Ca2+ is replaced by 2 H3O+
H was hugely affected by America and hence began his influence over the petroleum industry…they attacked the rock formation of an oil well, dissolving a portion of the rock, and creating a large-pore structure. They created a huge empire with weapons such as
• Acidizing of petroleum wells
• Dye manufacturing
• Ore reduction
• Synthetic Rubber
• Pharmaceuticals
• Industrial acidizing
At this point of time,their wives tired due to their continous rivalry decided to control their lives and vowed to mellow them down…with constant reaction,affection and love and made them turn towards a new field full of social reforms called as “BIO CHEMISTRY”
They met newer friends Mr.NaCl and Mr.KCl and decided to fight against the enemies of the stomachs and also helped the local police”ANTIBODIES” to fight against chronic respiratory acidosis and high plasma bicarbonate levels as a way to more rapidly return the bicarbonate towards normal levels
Happy with their new jobs and the new social status the two close friends lived and reacted happily ever after…
