Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid, which means it dissociates completely in solution. You can not be more ' acidic ' than that.
Just because an acid ionizes completely doesn't really say how acidic
a solution of HCl will be. HCl is defined as a strong acid because it
ionizes completely. However, if its diluted enough one can drink it just
like vinegar (about a 5% solution of acetic acid). Of course one could
dilute it enough to make it so the solution is pretty much no more
acidic than pure water.
The original answer was probably answering what was the intent
of the question, whether HCl is a strong or weak acid.
Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid with a pH of around 0-1. It is highly corrosive and can cause irritation and burns upon contact with skin or eyes.
It depends on the concentration of the HCl. A 5% solution will have a different density than a 25% solution.

What are the five acidic materials?
Five acidic materials are vinegar (acetic acid), lemon juice (citric acid), battery acid (sulfuric acid), hydrochloric acid, and carbonic acid.
Which is more acidic hydrochloric acid or picric acid?
Hydrochloric acid is more acidic than picric acid. Hydrochloric acid fully dissociates in solution to release hydrogen ions, resulting in a lower pH compared to picric acid, which is a weaker acid that does not fully dissociate in solution.
Is hydrochloric acid alkali or acidic?
No - acids and alkalis are "opposites". Acids have a pH less than 7 (which is the pH of water which is neutral) and alkalis have one over 7. Sulphuric acid comes in various strengths but often has a pH less than 1 and sometimes one which is negative.
Is diluted hydrochloric acid an acid. neutral or alkaline?
Diluted hydrochloric acid is acidic in nature. It will have a pH less than 7, which indicates acidity.
What colour does hydrochloric acid turn litmus?
Hydrochloric acid turns litmus paper red, indicating that it is acidic.
Is stomach acid acid base or neutral?
Our stomachs are stronger acidic (pH 2!) from hydrochloric acid.
Is hydrocholride acidic or basic?
Hydrocholride is hydrochloric acid, therefore, it is extremely acidic.
What is three acidic waters?
Examples: hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, hydrobromic acid.
What are the five acidic materials?
Five acidic materials are vinegar (acetic acid), lemon juice (citric acid), battery acid (sulfuric acid), hydrochloric acid, and carbonic acid.
Which acid creates acidic medium in stomach?
That would be hydrochloric acid. HCl.
Which is more acidic hydrochloric acid or picric acid?
Hydrochloric acid is more acidic than picric acid. Hydrochloric acid fully dissociates in solution to release hydrogen ions, resulting in a lower pH compared to picric acid, which is a weaker acid that does not fully dissociate in solution.

What colour does hydrochloric acid turn litmus?
Hydrochloric acid turns litmus paper red, indicating that it is acidic.
What makes the water acidic?
Water itself is neutral, neither acidic or basic. If an acid is present in the water, such as hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, acetic acid, etc., then the water will become acidic.
What are 3 acidic solutions?
Hydrochloric acid (HCl) Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) Nitric acid (HNO3)
Hydrochloric acid is a strong electrolyte why?
Hydrochloric acid is a strong acidic solution because HCl is completely dissociated, the loss of the proton is easy.
