Commercial grade hydrochloric acid (HCl) is a highly concentrated solution of hydrogen chloride in water, typically ranging from 30% to 38% HCl by weight. It’s commonly used in industrial applications, such as metal cleaning, pickling, and chemical manufacturing. While not as pure as laboratory-grade HCl, it’s robust and effective for many industrial processes
