HCl is prepared by heating NaCl with conc.H2SO4. But HI cannot be prepared by treating NaI with conc.H2SO4. Identify the reason.

H2SO4 is oxidised by HI and not oxidised by HCl

Solution
The correct option is BHI is oxidised by H2SO4 and HCl is not oxidised by HI
HCl is prepared by heating NaCl with conc.H2SO4. But HI cannot be prepared by treating NaI with
conc.H2SO4. Because HI is oxidised by H2SO4 and HCl is not oxidised by HI.
