Advertisements
Solution
When diluted sulphuric acid is added to sodium sulphide and heated, hydrogen sulphide gas is produced, which smells like rotten eggs and turns lead acetate paper black.
\[\ce{Na2S + H2SO4 -> H2S ^ + Na2SO4}\]
When concentrated sulphuric acid is exposed to sodium chloride and heated, HCl gas is produced, resulting in dense white vapours when a glass rod dipped in ammonia is brought near it.
\[\ce{NaCl + H2SO4 -> HCl ^ + NaHSO4}\]
