You still remember the 1st year anorganic course?: If GuHCl is the
only one source of chloride (halogen) ions in your solution, you
might check for this ion using silver nitrate solution. You'll get a
characteristic white precipitate that does not dissolve in diluted
nitric acid. Of course you also could measure chloride with a routine
analyzer in clinical chemistry, if you have access to any.
Richard, please excuse my ignorance, but my latin's buried. What
means "In Ventum Faciens Aquam" - "making water in the wind" gives no
sense to me.
