In chemical experiments, we often encounter a variety of chemical substances. Sometimes, we need to extract one substance from another.

Before the experiment begins, we need to understand what anhydrous hydrogen chloride (HCl) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) are. Anhydrous hydrogen chloride is a colorless, pungent odor gas, it is gaseous at room temperature, not easily soluble in water. Hydrochloric acid, on the other hand, is a common inorganic compound that is strongly acidic and is often used in chemical reactions in the laboratory.

So, how do we use hydrochloric acid to extract anhydrous hydrogen chloride? In practice, this approach is not feasible. Here's why:

1. Solubility difference: anhydrous hydrogen chloride has a low solubility at room temperature, while hydrochloric acid is a strong acid, and its acidity is much stronger than hydrogen chloride. Therefore, even if anhydrous hydrogen chloride is mixed with hydrochloric acid, the purpose of extracting hydrochloric acid from anhydrous hydrogen chloride cannot be achieved.

2. Restriction of reaction conditions: In order to achieve the extraction of another compound from one compound, certain reaction conditions need to be met. For example, heating, catalyst, etc. However, in this case, due to the large difference in the properties of anhydrous hydrogen chloride and hydrochloric acid, it is difficult to find a suitable reaction condition to achieve this goal.

3. Safety considerations: Hydrochloric acid is a toxic and corrosive chemical, and special attention should be paid to safety during operation. Although anhydrous hydrogen chloride also has certain toxicity and corrosion, it is relatively weak. If hydrochloric acid is used to extract anhydrous hydrogen chloride, it may lead to safety accidents.

Therefore, anhydrous hydrogen chloride cannot be extracted with hydrochloric acid. For this kind of problem, we should choose the appropriate method to deal with according to the actual situation, and ensure the safety during the experiment.
