The equation of the preparation of hydrogen chloride from sodium chloride and sulfuric acid.

Open in App

Solution

The aqueous solution of Hydrogen chloride $(H C l)$ is called Hydrochloric acid and it is a strong acid.
When Sodium chloride is treated with concentrated Sulfuric acid, Hydrogen chloride and Sodium hydrogen sulfate are formed.
The reaction is - $\underset{Sodium chloride}{NaCl (s)} + \underset{Sulfuric acid}{H_{2} {SO}_{4} (l)} \to \underset{Sodium hydrogen sulfate}{{NaHSO}_{4} (s)} + \underset{Hydrogen chloride}{2 HCl (g)}$
