Caption

The two possible pathways that muriatic acid can follow in the conditions like those found in interstellar space: Dissociate or absorb in icy water. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the June 7th, 2019, issue of Science Advances, published by AAAS. The paper, by D. Mani at Ruhr-Universität Bochum in Bochum, Germany, and colleagues was titled, "Acid solvation versus dissociation at "stardust conditions": Reaction sequence matters!."
