Gaseous HCl was called marine acid air. The name muriatic acid has the same origin (muriatic means "pertaining to brine or salt", hence muriate means hydrochloride), and this name is still sometimes used.[1][9] The name hydrochloric acid was coined by the French chemist Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac in 1814.[10]

IIRC, trade muriatic acid is similar to the Hydrochloric Acid of your High School Chemistry Class, but a lesser "dilution" adapted to direct application to masonry.
Mix with any "base" material. Lime works pretty good and is cheap.
When no longer bubbling, (i.e. "neutral) you pour it on your lawn.
(The point of putting lime on your lawn is to neutralize "acid rain" and promote a healthier growing environment.)
