Resumen de Simple Acid Vapor Method for Production of HCl and DCl Gas for IR Spectroscopy

Han Jung Park, Neethu M. Kurien, Thomas R. Rybolt

• We report here a method that utilizes the vapor pressure of HCl(g) above a concentrated HCl(aq) solution as an extremely simple and safe method to produce small amounts of HCl vapor in an IR gas cell. This vapor pressure approach can also be used to produce DCl(g) by introducing a few drops of concentrated DCl(aq) into the gas cell.
