Question
How will you distinguish between conc. HCl and conc. H2SO4?
Solution
Conc. HCl and Conc. H2SO4:
| S.No. | Conc. HCl | Conc. H2SO4 |
| 1. | Addition to silver nitrate : When conc. HCI is added to silver nitrate white ppt. of silver chloride are formed. \[\ce{AgNO3 + HCl -> AgCl + HNO3}\] White ppt. of silver chloride dissolve in excess of ammonium hydroxide. |
Addition to copper : Conc. Sulphuric acid is added to copper and heated. Sulphur dioxide, which is colourless gas with the smell of burnt sulphur is evolved. \[\ce{Cu + 2H2SO4 -> CuSO4 + 2H2O + SO2}\] SO2 gas turns K2Cr2O7 paper green. |
| 2. | A glass rod dipped in conc. HCl is brought in contact with ammonia gas, curdy white fumes of ammonium chloride is seen around the glass rod. | Glucose when conc. Sulphuric acid \[\ce{\underset{\text{blue}}{CuSO4.5H2O} ->[conc.H2SO4] CuSO4 + \underset{\text{white}}{5H2O}}\] |
