7A Hydrogen Chloride Flashcards
What was named “Muriatic Acid”?
A solution of Hydrogen chloride gas
Where does Hydrogen chloride occur?
- Free state
2. In Volcanic gases and in gastric juices of mammals.
Why is the bond in HCl polar?
Difference in Electronegativities of H and Cl the bond in HCl is polar covalent.
What are the 2 ways in which hydrogen chloride gas is prepared?
- Direct combination or Synthesis
2. By reaction of a metallic chloride with Concentrated H2SO4
Give the 1st method by which HCl can be prepared.
- Moist Hydrogen gas combines with chlorine in the presence of diffused sunlight.
H2 + Cl2 —> (Diffused sunlight) 2 HCl (gas)
- The reaction is explosive in direct sunlight and negligible in the dark.
- Moisture acts as a catalyst in the above synthesis reaction.
- Burning jet of hydrogen also burns in chlorine forming hydrogen chloride.
Give the results if the condition of the reaction in the direct combination reaction, preparation of Hydrogen Chloride is changed.
The reaction is explosive in direct sunlight and negligible in the dark.
Moisture acts as a catalyst in the above synthesis reaction.
What is the second method in the preapration of the hydrogen chloride?
Reaction of a metallic chloride with conc. sulphuric acid
Metallic Cl + Sulphuric acid —> Metallic Bisulphate + HCl (g)
NaCl + H2SO4 (Conc.) —-> (<200*) NaHSO4 + HCl (g)
What is the second method in the preapration of the hydrogen?
Reaction of a metallic chloride with conc. sulphuric acid
Metallic Cl + Sulphuric acid —> Metallic Bisulphate + HCl (g)
NaCl + H2SO4 (Conc.) —-> (<200*) NaHSO4 + HCl (g)
What is the laboratory method?
From sodium chloride and Conc. H2SO4
Heating a metallic chloride [NaCl] with Conc. Sulphuric Acid [H2SO4]
What is rock salt?
NaCl
Laboratory method:
Reactants:
Sodium Chloride and Conc. Sulphuric Acid
Laboratory method:
Products:
Sodium Bisulphate and Hydrogen Chloride
Laboratory method:
Procedure:
The reactants are initally slowly heated
Laboratory method:
Observation:
The HCl gas obtained in the round bottom flask passes throught the delivery tube.
Bubbles through the drying agent in the washer bottle
the dry gas is collected in the gas jar.
Laboratory method:
Purification:
By passing through the washer bottle containing the drying agent, conc. H2SO4 which absorbs moisture.
Laboratory method:
Collection:
Dry hydrogen air is collected by the upward displacement of the air.
It is heavier than the air.
It is soluble in water, not collected over water.
Laboratory method:
Identification:
A glass rod dipped in ammonium solution is brought near the mouth of the gas jar Y.
Dense white fume of ammonium chloride are formed.
NH3 + HCl -> NH4Cl
Give the equations when of Laboratory method:
Sodium Chloride (Rock Salt) + H2SO4 —> Sodium Bisulphate + HCl GaS
NaCl+ H2SO4 —-> (<200) NaHSO4 + HCl
2NaCl + H2SO4 —> (>200) Na2SO4 + 2HCl
Why is sodium chloride preferred?
It is cheap and easily available
Why is Concentrated H2SO4 used?
It is non-volatile => It has a high boiling point.
It displaces the volatile hydrogen Chloride rom the salt sodium chloride.
Why cant concentrated Nitric Acid be used?
It is volatile and may volatize out along with the hydrigen chloride.
Why is temperature to be mantained below X degree?
What is X?
X is 200 degree celcius
- Fuel is wasted
- The glass apparatus may tend to crack
- Sodium Sulphate, forms a hard crust, sticks to the glass and is difficult to remove.
At temperature less than 200 degrees, what salt is formed?
At temperature more than 200 degrees, what salt is formed?
NaHSO4
Na2SO4
How is Purification of HCl done?
HCl is purified by passting through Conc. H2SO4
Why is H2SO4 used as the drying agent and what are the 2 other drying agents which is not to be used why?
Drying agents should only remove the moisture and not react with it
Quick lime ad P2O5 are other alternatives but they react with HCl forming the respective chloride.
CaO + HCl —> CaCl2 + H2O
P2O5 + HCl —> POCl3 + HPO3
How is HCl gas collected?
HCl has is collected by the upward displacement of air.
HCl is ___ times heavier than air.
1.28 times
Give points on density of HCl.
- HCl is1.28 times heavier than air.
2. HCl is denser than ammonia but lighter than SO2
Why is HCl not collected over water?
Since it is highly soluble in water.
1 Vol dissolves 452 volumes of HCl at ordinary temperature.
Name the gases that are heavier than air?
HCl, SO2, H2S, O2, Cl2 and CO2
Name the gases that are lighter than air.
NH3 and H2 (lightest)
Name the gas that is almost as heavy as air
N2
Name the gases that are highly soluble in water?
Name the gases that are fairly soluble in water?
Name the gases that are slightly soluble in water?
HCl, NH3, SO2
Cl2, CO2, H2S
H2, N2 and O2
What is Phosphurus oxychloride and Meta phosphoric acid
POCl3
HPO3
Give the timeline for HCl
- 1648 -> Glauber prepared HCl gas from rock salt and H2SO4
- 1772 - Josepth priestly obtained it in pure form and named its solution Marine Acid
- It was later named Muriatic acid by lavoisier
- 1810 -> Davy gave the name HCl
Give the color, Odour and taste of HCl gas:
- Colorless
- Pungent and Choking odour
- Slight Sour in taste.
Physiological nature:
HCL GAS
- Non-Poisonous
2. Causes burning sensation if inhaled
Liquefaction, BP and FP
