Solution

The test for hydrogen chloride gas is depicted as follows:

  1. One of the best ways to detect Hydrogen Chloride(HCl) was by adding silver nitrate(AgNO3) solution to form an insoluble precipitate. The formation of white precipitate shows the presence of chloride(Cl-) ions and Hydrogen Chloride(HCl) gas.
  2. The physical properties of Hydrogen Chloride gas (HClg) at room temperature were mildly yellow, corrosive, non-flammable gas which is thicker than air. Upon contact with oxygen gas, Hydrogen Chloride(HCl) forms white corrosive vapours.
