Question
Give a chemical test to distinguish between the following gases:
Hydrogen chloride and hydrogen sulphide
Advertisements
Solution
Hydrogen chloride [HCl]: Turns silver nitrate sol. into curdy white ppt. This ppt. is soluble in NH4OH but insoluble in dil. HN03 does not show lead acetate paper test.
Hydrogen sulphide [H2S]: Shows no such test, with AgNO3[sol.] Put moist lead acetate paper in H2S gas. It turns silvery black.
