How can you prove that hydrochloric acid contain :
Chlorine?
How will you show that hychloric acid contains both hydrogen and chlorine (other than by electrolysis) ?
Hydrogen chloride gas is very soluble in water. It is dissolved in water to prepare hydrochloric acid by using an anti-suction device, as shown in the diagram. Very briefly explain, how this device prevents the suction of water into the flask, in which hydrogen chloride gas is produced.
Give reason for the following:
Dilute hydrochloric acid cannot be concentrated by distilling (boiling) the dilute acid.
