Is HCl gas a mixture or a compound?

HCl gas is a compound.


Give one test to identify HCL gas-?

One way to test a gas to identify it as an HCL gas is to dip a glass rod in ammonia and place it in the gas. If a white smoke is produced, the gas is HCL gas.


Why is HCL gas not an acid but HCL aqueous an acid?

HCl gas is not an acid because it does not produce H+ ions in solution when dissolved in water. However, when HCl gas dissolves in water to form hydrochloric acid (HCl aqueous), it dissociates into H+ and Cl- ions, making it acidic.


What color is HCl?

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is a colorless solution. It does not have a distinct color.


What gas is evolved when acetone-bisulfite with HCl?

When acetone bisulfite reacts with HCl, sulfur dioxide gas is evolved.


What is the balanced chemical equation when NH4Cl is heated?

When NH4Cl is heated, it decomposes into NH3 gas and HCl gas. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: NH4Cl(s) -> NH3(g) + HCl(g).


What is the chemical formula for hydrochloric gas?

The chemical formula for hydrogen chloride gas, also known as hydrochloric acid gas, is HCl.


What gas does magnesium release when mixed with hcl?

Hydrogen gas


Does fluorite react to HCL?

Yes, fluorite does react with hydrochloric acid (HCl) to produce hydrogen fluoride gas. This reaction can be observed by effervescence and the formation of a gas when fluorite is exposed to HCl.


Is dry HCL a solid or a gas?

Dry HCl, or anhydrous hydrogen chloride, exists in the gas phase at room temperature and pressure. It only becomes a liquid when compressed or cooled to very low temperatures.


What is the difference between hcl acid and hcl gas?

HCl gas is molecular HCl in the gaseous phase, HCl acid is HCl in solution with water, and can be said to be in the form H+ Cl-. (Or to be a pendant, H3O+ Cl- as techincally protons do not exist on their own in solution.) It is this dissociation of the molecule into constituent ions which gives an acid its properties. On a physical level, HCl gas is a yellow/green gas, and HCl acid is a clear solution.


How would you find the answer to this question How many moles of HCl can be formed when moles of hydrogen gas react with chlorine?

You can determine the moles of HCl formed by using a balanced chemical equation for the reaction between hydrogen gas and chlorine. Calculate the stoichiometric ratio of hydrogen to HCl in the balanced equation to determine the moles of HCl formed from the given moles of hydrogen gas.
