 Some properties of hydrogen chloride gas, Chlorine and its compounds,high school chemistry

Figure 6.10: Some properties of hydrogen chloride gas (HCl(g))


As seen previously in Section 6.9 of Question No. 8, hydrogen chloride is denser than air (RMM = 36.5).


Questions 6.10

  1. Comment about the colour, smell, and solubility of hydrogen chloride gas (HCl(g)) in water.
  2. Name two other gases whose solubilities are comparable to that of hydrogen chloride.
  3. Based on solubility, draw the arrangement involving a beaker and funnel that you would use to prepare a solution of hydrogen chloride in water.
