    Flashcards

    Direct Combination of Hydrogen and Chlorine

    A method of producing hydrogen chloride (HCl) involving the direct reaction of hydrogen gas (H₂) with chlorine gas (Cl₂) in the presence of sunlight.

    Heating a Metallic Chloride with H₂SO₄

    A chemical reaction where a metallic chloride (like NaCl) is heated with concentrated sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) to produce hydrogen chloride gas (HCl).

    Why is concentrated nitric acid avoided in HCl preparation?

    Concentrated nitric acid is not used during HCl preparation because it is volatile and may escape alongside the hydrogen chloride gas.

    How is HCl gas purified?

    HCl gas is purified by passing it through concentrated sulfuric acid (H2SO4) because it is a strong drying agent that does not react with HCl.

    Funnel arrangement for HCl preparation

    A setup used to produce hydrogen chloride (HCl) gas through the reaction of concentrated sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) with a chloride salt (NaCl). The setup minimizes the back suction phenomenon, preventing the unintended flow of water from the delivery tube into the reaction flask.

    Why is a funnel arrangement used?

    HCl gas quickly dissolves in water, making it vital to minimize back suction. This prevents water from being pushed into the flask and interrupting the reaction.
