Y12 Non-metals. Lab preparation of Hydrogen Chloride and Hydrochloric Acid
16:40  - 1 year ago
Laboratory preparation of Hydrogen Chloride Gas and Hydrochloric Acid. Test for the gas using concentrated ammonia solution and moist UI paper. Care: This must be carried out in a Fume Cupboard Concentrated sulphuric acid is added to solid sodium chloride. NaCl(s) + H2SO4(l) = NaHSO4(aq) + HCl(g) Other relevant equations, referred to in the video, are: HCl(g) + NH3(g) = NH4Cl(s) The ammonium chloride forms as a gas that then cools and sublime to a solid HCl(g) + H2O = H3O+ + Cl- This positive ion is called a HYDROXONIUM ion. When hydrogen ions are formed in water they immediately pair up with water molecules to form this ion. or simply HCl(g) = HCl(aq)
