When dilute HCl is added to a salt Q, a brisk effervescence is produced and the gas turns lime water milky.
When NH4OH solution is added to the above mixture (after adding dilute HCl), it produces a white precipitate which is soluble in excess NH4OH solution.
How is the gas collected and why?
Describe an experiment to prove the following:
HCI gas is heavier than air.
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.
