Write the chemical equation for the laboratory preparation of HCl gas when the reactants are above 200°C


Open in App
Solution

  • When Concentrated Sulphuric acid is added to Sodium Chloride at the temperatures of 200°C, then Sodium bisulphate is formed as shown below:
    NaCl(s)+H2SO4(aq)Below2000CNaHSO4(s)+HCl(g)SodiumSulphuricSodiumChlorideacidbisulphate
  • But when the temperature is raised above 200°C, then this Sodium bisulphate will further react to give Sodium Sulphate and liberate Hydrogen Chloride.
    2NaCl(s)+H2SO4(aq)Above2000CNa2SO4(s)+2HCl(g)SodiumSulphuricSodiumChlorideacidbisulphate
