Hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid question...?
To make hydrochloric acid you need sulfuric acid and salt (sodium chloride), they made this back in the time of renaissance but i have no clue how they did it. Could anyone please explain?
Or if you have another way just post it (without the use of electrolysis please).
That does work too, but there is no way to get hydrogen chloride without electrolysis, or without hydrochloric acid.

The equation for this reaction is:
2NaCl(s) + H2SO4(conc) →heat → Na2SO4 + 2HCl
The gaseous HCl - in this form called hydrogen chloride - is collected by dissolving in water. This produces the hydrochloric acid solution.
