Question
How can these impurities be removed?
Advertisements
Solution
- The impurities can be removed from hydrogen by passing it through
- Silver nitrate solution to remove arsine and phosphine.
AsH3 + 6AgNO3 → Ag3As + 3AgNO3 + 3HNO3
PH3 + 6AgNO3 → Ag3P + 3AgNO3 + 3HNO3
- Lead nitrate solution to remove hydrogensulphide.
Pb(NO3)2 + H2S → Pbs + 2HNO3
- Caustic potash solution to remove sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide and oxides of nitrogen.
SO2 + 2KOH → K2SO3 + H2O
CO2 + 2KOH→ K2CO3+ H2O
2NO2 + 2KOH →KNO2 + KNO3 + H2O
- A drying agent used to dry the gas. Common drying agents such as fused calcium chloride, caustic potash stick and phosphorus pentoxide remove water vapor.
So, the gas is purified and dried and then collected over mercury because mercury does not react with it.
