Write the chemical equation for the laboratory preparation of hydrogen chloride gas mentioning the reaction condition.
The chemical equations for the laboratory preparation of hydrogen chloride gas are:
NaCl(s)Sodiumchloride+H2SO4(l)Sulphuricacid→<2000CNaHSO4(s)Sodiumhydrogensulphate+HCl(g)Hydrogenchloride2NaCl(s)Sodiumchloride+H2SO4(l)Sulphuricacid→>2000CNa2SO4(s)Sodiumsulphate+2HCl(g)Hydrogenchloride
The diagram shows an apparatus for the laboratory preparation of hydrogen chloride. (i) Identify A and B. (ii) Write the equation for the reaction. (iii) How would you check whether or not the gas jar is filled with hydrogen chloride? (iv) What does the method of collection tell you about the density of hydrogen chloride?
