Question

describe the general methods of preparation of acid​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Synthetic method: In the synthetic method, acids are prepared by direct combination of elements. For example, hydrogen and chlorine react together under the action of an electric spark to produce hydrogen chloride gas which is absorbed in water to give hydrochloric acid.

H2 + Cl2 - (electric spark) - 2HCl

2. By dissolving acidic oxides in water : Some oxides dissolve in water to give acids. These oxides are called acidic oxides. For example, sulphur trioxide (SO3) dissolves in water to give H2SO4.

SO3 + H2O → H2SO4

Silimlarly, carbon dioxide (CO2) dissolves in water to produce carbonic acid (H2CO3).

CO2 + H2O → H2CO3

3. By the action of an acid on the salt of another acid : An acid having higher boiling point can react with the salt of an acid of lower boiling point to produce an acid. For example, NaCl is a salt of HCl. The boiling point of HCI is lower than that of H2SO4, When NaCl (salt of HCl) reacts with H2SO4, HCl is formed.

H2SO4 + NaCl → NaHSO4 + HCl
