Mu"ri*ate, n. Etym: [See Muriatic.] (Chem.)
Definition: A salt of muriatic hydrochloric acid; a chloride; as, muriate
of ammonia.
Note: This term, as also the word muriatic, was formerly applied to
the chlorides before their true composition was understood, and while
they were erroneously supposed to be compounds of an acid with an
oxide. Muriate and muriatic are still occasionally used as commercial
terms, but are obsolete in scientific language.
