Question

What will happen if we take dry HCl gas instead of aqueous solution of HCl? * 1 point Reaction will occur faster. Reaction will not occur. Reaction rate will be slow Reaction rate will remain the same.​

Answer 1

Option (b) Reaction will not occur

The Reaction will not occur in the presence of dry HCl gas

Explanation:

• HCl is naturally a gas
• Dry Hydrochloric acid does not have any moisture in its composition.
• Dry HCl does not dissociate to give H⁺ ion.
• HCl dissociates to give its ion only in an aqueous state.
• Hydrochloric acid in its wet state will dissociate to give its ions.
• If we dip blue litmus paper and then if we dip it in dry hydrochloric acid,it will not change it colour to red.
