Step-by-step calculation

Element	Atoms	Atomic mass	Subtotal
Hydrogen	× 1	1.008	= 1.008
Chlorine	× 1	35.45	= 35.45
Total			36.458 g/mol

Hydrochloric acid is a solution of hydrogen chloride gas in water, and it is a strong, corrosive acid with a sharp smell.
It is used to clean steel before coating, to control pH in industry, and to make other chemicals, and it is the main acid in human stomach juice.
Concentrated hydrochloric acid gives off hydrogen chloride gas that forms a visible mist of tiny acid droplets when it meets moist air.

What is the molar mass of HCl?

The molar mass of hydrochloric acid (HCl) is 36.458 g/mol.

How do you calculate the molar mass of HCl?

Multiply the atomic mass of each element by the number of its atoms in HCl, then add the results: 1 × 1.008 (H) + 1 × 35.45 (Cl) = 36.458 g/mol.

What percentage of HCl is Chlorine?

Chlorine makes up 97.24% of the mass of hydrochloric acid (HCl).
