Hydrochloric Acid reactor by reacting the elements
Has anyone ever attempted this?
Plante1999 has done experimentation on an Ostwald reactor making Nitric Acid and axehandle successfully replicated the lead chamber process to make
Sulfuric Acid.
What about making Hydrochloric Acid?
A problem I can see is that it is dangerously explosive when you combine these together and add UV light they react, something to do
with free radicals(can someone explain further?)
There is a video here of the reaction being initiated by a Ultraviolet light keychain.

The industrial production of hydrochloric acid may be by "Hydrogen burner", but is more likely a byproduct of other industrial processes.

Rapopart’s Rules for critical commentary:
1. Attempt to re-express your target’s position so clearly, vividly and fairly that your target says: “Thanks, I wish I’d thought of putting it
that way.”
2. List any points of agreement (especially if they are not matters of general or widespread agreement).
3. Mention anything you have learned from your target.
4. Only then are you permitted to say so much as a word of rebuttal or criticism.
Anatol Rapoport was a Russian-born American mathematical psychologist (1911-2007).

I wanted to do it for a while, eventually I gave up the idea as it's rather dangerous and HCl (aq) is quite cheap for me.
If you had a way to keep the gasses flowing at a slow and steady rate, and are able to construct at apparatus suitable to contain the very corrosive
gasses, at high temperatures - you might be able to do it.
I don't think it will be worth you're while, but you can give it a try if you want.
Don't skimp on safety equipment, especially wear a gas mask.

Yup, NurdRage tweeted about this.

At the end of the day, simulating atoms doesn't beat working with the real things...
