%X The electrochemical reduction of HCl dissolved in LiCl-KCl eutectic has been studied by linear sweep voltammetry and chronopotentiometry at a glassy carbon electrode. The dissolved HCl is found to be completely dissociated into protons and chloride ions, and the cathodic evolution of hydrogen proceeds by the two-step mechanism                                H+ + e &#8596; H                              H + H &#8596; H2  The charge-transfer step is reversible and faster than the hydrogen atom combination reaction.
