Question
Name the acid used for the preparation of hydrogen chloride gas in the laboratory. Why is this particular acid preferred to other acids?
Solution
`H_2SO_4` (Sulphuric acid is used for the preparation of HCl gas in the laboratory). `H_2SO_4`has dehydrating properties so act as dehydrating agent.
