Muriatic acid is the solution of HCl in water. It is found in gastric acid. Muriatic acid is highly corrosive, strong mineral acid in nature and has many major industrial uses.

It is preferred acid for determining the amount of base using titration solution, being a strong acid it gives precise result during titration.
