Give reason for the following: Hydrogen chloride gas cannot be dried over quick lime.
2HCl(aq)Hydrochloricacid+CaO(s)Calciumoxide→CaCl2(s)Calciumchloride+H2O(l)Water
So, Quicklime is not used for dying HCl gas.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below: (i) Hydrogen chloride gas being highly soluble in water is dried by: (a) Anhydrous calcium chloride (b) Phosphorous penta oxide (c) Quick lime (d) Concentrated sulphuric acid.
Give reason: Hydrogen Chloride gas cannot be dried over quick lime.
Give a reason for the following.
Hydrogen chloride gas cannot be dried over quick lime.
Hydrogen chloride gas can be subjected to drying only with concentrated H2SO4 but not with quick lime or phosphorous pentaoxide . Explain.
