Direct absorption of HCl gas in water using a delivery tube causes
Back suction
59
Back Suction:
1. Very high solubility of HCl gas 2. If a delivery tube thorugh which HCl gas is passed is directly immersed => 3. Rate of absorption is high and a partial vacuum is created in the tube. 4. Pressure is higher outside-> water pushed up into the delivery tube 5. Damages apparatus

The rim of the funnel is places so that it just touched the trough containing water
63
The process in special funne
``` If back suction occurs -> Water rises up the funnel The level outside the funnel drops air gap between the surface of water and rim of water Pressure equlizes -> Water falls ```
