In the preparation of nitric acid from KNO3 concentrated sulphuric acid is used in place of hydrochloric acid. Why?

उत्तर
Concentrated sulphuric acid is used in place of hydrochloric acid because hydrochloric acid is a volatile acid. If used, the nitric acid vapours will carry HCl vapours along with them, making it impossible to get pure nitric acid. Therefore, a non-volatile acid like concentrated sulphuric acid is required.
