Question about hydrochloric acid and digestion can anyone help?I'm trying to find the answer to this question. Can anyone help.
Mineral component in hydrochloric acid required for digestion?

Hydrochloric acid is composed of hydrogen and chlorine (HCl). It is considered a 'mineral acid' because part of it is made from a non-organic atom: chlorine, a mineral. Organic molecules contain carbon (more or less) and are biologically-produced; minerals are produced geologically.
So Chlorine is your answer.
