👉 Inorganic chemistry, a branch of chemistry that deals with the properties and reactions involving inorganic substances, chloridizing refers to the process by which an acid or base reacts with another substance to form a salt. In this case, it is being used to describe the reaction between a weak base (like hydrochloric acid) and a strong acid (such as sulfuric acid), which can lead to the formation of a precipitate that is often referred to as "chloridizing."
