Question
Hydrogen chloride gas is prepared in the laboratory by the action of concentrated sulphuric acid on sodium chloride.
Give a balanced chemical equation for the above reaction.
Solution
\[\ce{2NaCl + H2SO4 ->[< 200°C][]2HCl + Na2SO4}\]
Sodium's greater reactivity than hydrogen replaces 'H' from acid to produce matching salts and strong volatile acid (HCl).
