Poor compression

Thar alkali wil neutralise the acid and I believe, produces a salt plus water and I am not talking table salt!

Actually sodium chloride is table salt, but it'll impregnate itself into the cylinder!

I know, I was talking about chemical compositions known as salts and not table salt. When acid is mixed with alkali, you get a salt and water and I was pointing out that by "salt" I was not meaning table salt - chemistry:001_rolleyes:

Any metal plus a base compound will produce a salt, rust is a salt, but in the case of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide, the product is sodium chloride, which is normal table salt.

Hydrochloric acid is probably best for cleaning cylinders up as it only produces aluminium chloride, which isn't much of a hazard in the low quantities found in piston transfer.

Glad you can use Google Eddy, I am trying to remember O level Chemistry from 35 years ago:001_rolleyes:

 

I guess you are saying tha the reaction between the acid and the base releases the hydrogen from the acid and the base replaces it producing the salt:sneaky2:

 

I think we are boring everyone now - use muriatic acid:thumbup:

I hear there is a new web search site to rival Google, its called 'Eddyit'

I don't use google, I can still remember my A level chemistry, it was only 7 years ago! The reaction releases hydrogen, oxygen and water vapour depending on the speed of the reaction, but it's mostly water vapour, as the compounds are 6HCl and Al2O3, producing AlCl3, and 3H2O

OK, I thought you were just being a google expert like so many others:lol: apologies, think we have gone far enough on this - the acid makes the aluminium go black, soft and it bubbles some.......it works not sure there is much more to say!

Rust is an oxide innit ?

Yup, ferrous oxide, still a salt.
