Can potassium chloride be prepared from zinc and hydrogen chloride?

No, reacting zinc with hydrogen chloride will yield zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. Potassium chloride can be prepared by reacting potassium with hydrogen chloride or (more safely) potassium hydroxide with hydrogen chloride.


Is KCL an organic compounds?

No. Because organic compounds must contain Carbon (C). KCl is Potassium (K) Chloride (Cl) and is considered a salt. Salts are ionic compounds containing cations other that Hydrogen ion (H+ ) and anions other than the Hydroxyl ion (OH- )

Why hydrogen has different boiling point than hydrogen chloride?

Hydrogen and hydrogen chloride have different boiling points because they are different molecules with different molecular structures. Hydrogen chloride has stronger intermolecular forces (dipole-dipole interactions) compared to hydrogen, leading to a higher boiling point. These forces hold the molecules of hydrogen chloride together more tightly, requiring more energy to overcome them and change from liquid to gas.
