In the laboratory preparation of hydrochloric acid, the reactants used are:
NaCl+HSO4
NaCl+H2SO4
KCl+HNO3
KNO3+H2SO3
In laboratory preparation of hydrochloric acid, the reactants are sodium chloride and conc. sulphuric acid.
NaCl+H2SO4→NaHSO4+HCl(g)
In the laboratory preparation of hydrochloric acid, HCl gas is dissolved in water. (i) Draw a diagram to show the arrangement used for the absorption of HCl in water. (ii) Why is such an arrangement necessary? Give two reasons. (iii) Write the chemical equation for the laboratory preparation of HCl gas when the reactants are: (a) below 200°C (b) above 200°C
