Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

the relative vapour density is 1.27.

The density of the gas is 1.639 g/L at 0°C and The density of the concentrated acid 1.194 g/mL at 26°C .

7647-01-0,Density,Tesarik,1967, rs Chemicky Prumysl 1967 V17(7) P387-8

The density of the concentrated acid is 1.17-1.18 g/cm3 at 15°C.

7647-01-0,Density,Bell,2007,PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF CONCENTRATED HCL,rs

The density is 1.17-1.18 g/ml( 34.1and 36.2%) depending on the concentration of hydrogen chloride. No data on temperature measurement are given. If it is asumed that the temperature is roomtemperature, it does not confict with the data of the handbooks with higer concentration.

The density of the gas in the different handbooks is exactly the same, because it is a calculated value from its molecular weight and the Ideal Gas Law.

At lower temperature(15°C) the density of the solution is lower.
