Solution
The fountain experiment is used to show solubility of hydrogen chloride gas in water and to show acidic nature of hydrogen chloride gas.
Explanation:
The experiment simultaneously demonstrates two distinct properties: the high solubility of the gas in water (which creates the vacuum fountain) and its acidic nature (which turns the blue litmus solution into a red fountain).
