Question

If you were to put some cotton wool soaked with concentrated hydrochloric acid and some cotton

wool soaked with ammonia into a tube…..

i) What would you see?

ii) Write an equation for the product that is formed

iii) How can you explain why the product is formed closer to one end than the other end?​

Answer 1

Answer:

When a glass rod dipped in the ammonia solution is brought near HCl gas, a dense white fume of ammonium chloride is formed.

This is because ammonia reacts with the fumes of HCl to give ammonium chloride.

NH3+HCl→NH4Cl
