What Is Concentrated Hydrochloric Acid Used For?

For the mitosis practical, freshly grown onion root tips are warmed briefly in dilute hydrochloric acid, which breaks down the material holding the cells together. The softened tips are then stained with acetocarmine in a watch glass and gently squashed under a coverslip so that individual dividing cells can be seen. Dilute acid is also used to hydrolyse sucrose before a Benedict's or Fehling's test, showing students that a non-reducing sugar gives a positive result once it has been split into simpler sugars.

Concentrated acid should be opened and diluted only by a teacher or lab assistant, ideally in the fume cupboard a school in India sets aside for acids, wearing goggles and gloves. Always add the acid slowly to water, never water to acid, and use the strength given in your practical manual. Between sessions, keep the bottle tightly closed, apart from alkalis and oxidising chemicals, as the MSDS describes.
