Question

The oxidation of hydrochloric gas by oxygen occurs move quickly if the gases passed over cupric chloride.Give Reason?​

Answer 1

It is because hydrochloric acid is a strong acid and it reacts readily with metals and their chlorides.

Explanation:

• It is because hydrochloric acid is a strong acid and it reacts readily with metals and their chlorides, oxides, and carbonates to release chlorine.
• Copper chloride is an inorganic solution and the oxidation state of copper metal is +2.
• Thus, hydrochloric acid reacts readily with copper chloride as it is reactive and produces more chlorine as a byproduct at the end of the reaction.

Answer 2

Reason :

• It is because HCl is a strong acid , it is more reactive with Metals and their chlorides
