The 36 pages that link to Hydrochloric acid, each with the reason it gives.
Acetic acidCompared with: Its near-complete dissociation contrasts with acetic acid's partial ionization.
Sulfuric acidCompared with: Unlike sulfuric acid, it is not a strong dehydrating agent and contains no oxygen.
Carbonic acidCompared with: Its near-complete ionization contrasts with carbonic acid’s weak, reversible dissociation.
Nitric acidCompared with: It is strongly acidic but lacks nitric acid’s characteristic oxidizing power.
Phosphoric acidCompared with: It ionizes essentially completely in water, unlike phosphoric acid’s stepwise weak-acid dissociations.
Perchloric acidCompared with: It is also a strong mineral acid, but chlorine is in oxidation state −1.
Hydrofluoric acidCompared with: Unlike hydrofluoric acid, its principal danger is usually immediate corrosive injury rather than fluoride poisoning.
Ammonium chlorideCompared with: It supplies chloride in solution but is an acid rather than an ammonium salt.
Boric acidCompared with: Unlike hydrochloric acid, boric acid is weak and acts through hydroxide acceptance.
Hydrogen halideCompared with: It is the aqueous acid counterpart of gaseous hydrogen chloride.
Trichloroacetic acidCompared with: Both are strong acids, but hydrochloric acid lacks trichloroacetic acid’s organic carbon framework.
Zinc chlorideCompared with: Both can remove oxides, but hydrochloric acid is a molecular acid rather than a zinc salt.
Hydrogen iodideCompared with: It shares HI’s strong-acid behavior in water but has different reducing chemistry.
Chloroauric acidCompared with: Unlike hydrochloric acid, chloroauric acid contains a gold complex anion.
Sodium bisulfateCompared with: It can also lower pH, but supplies chloride rather than hydrogen sulfate ions.
Triflic acidCompared with: Its chloride conjugate base is more nucleophilic than triflate in many reactions.
Trifluoroacetic acidCompared with: It is a nonorganic alternative for acidification and deprotection.
