I have been wondering if there was an acid that could be added to water that would react to the calcium or other minerals in it to split off the hydrogen as a byproduct???

This is a point of wild curiosity and I fear that the correct answers may be beond me. The point of the exercise is to derive and recover hydrogen from simple untreated water, (full of impurities and minerals), through chemical interaction.

if you add HCL to H2O then in liquid both split and mix with each other which gives you weaker acid and depending on how much water maybe just plain water...the hydrogen in both is way too reactive not to bond with anything in the water (O2 or dissolved minerals)

Not exactly. The equation does not fully describe what actually happens, even if it is stoichiometrically correct. You will just get salt water. But that is also what you get when you mix equal amounts of equal concentrations of aqueous solutions of NaOH and HCl. The NaOH and HCl will essentially completely ionize. The apparent addition of H[+] and OH[-] will have no practical effect since the excess of these two will just associate to become water. You are left with a solution of Na[+] and Cl[-] ions. Same as adding NaCl to water.

It would just make an acid
Hydrochloric acid is a mixture composed of HCl dissolved in H2O

Numerous metals with react with HCl to give off hdrogen gas. Zinc is propable the best because it is cheapest, but so will magnesiun and calcium.

HCL+H2O will reduces the concentration of the solution.And the acid become H+ and Cl-.understand what i means? Hope this will help you.

this is an acid-base chemistry concept
HCl (g) + H2O (l) --------> H3O+ (aq) + Cl– (aq) Complete reaction (100%)
g-gas
l-liquid
aq-aqueous
Hydrogen chloride (when dissolved in water) is a strong acid. That means it reacts with water (and all other bases) completely

If you want hydrogen gas, you need to pass electricity through the water.
If you want hydrogen ions, then yes, any acid will give you that in water.

Diluted HCL

We would get dil. hcl by mixing hcl into water

h20 contains only h2 and o2
so where is the question of minerals?
