Inorganic Acids are used as feedstocks for the synthesis of other chemicals, both organic and inorganic, in many sectors of the chemical industry. Large quantities of these acids, particularly sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and hydrochloric acid, are produced in large plants for commercial use. Because of their corrosive properties, inorganic acids are also used directly. A dilute solution of hydrochloric acid, for example, is used to remove deposits from the inside of boilers, with precautions taken to prevent the acid from corroding the boiler. This is referred to as descaling. Although hydrogen fluoride can be called that, it is given a different name to emphasise that it is an acid—a substance that dissociates into hydrogen ions (H+) and anions in water.
