Question
When concentrated H2SO4𝐻2𝑆𝑂4 is added to NaCI (s), the gas evolvedA. bleaches damp blue litmus paperB. forms a white preciptate with AgNO3(aq)C. forms a white precipitate with BaCI2(aq)D. turns moist red litmus paper blue
Solution
When concentrated H2SO4 is added to NaCl, the reaction produces hydrogen chloride (HCl) gas.
A. Hydrogen chloride gas does not bleach damp blue litmus paper. It actually turns blue litmus paper red because it is an acid.
B. Hydrogen chloride gas in water forms hydrochloric acid, which reacts with AgNO3 to form a white precipitate of AgCl. So, this statement is correct.
C. Hydrogen chloride gas does not form a white precipitate with BaCl2. Barium chloride reacts with sulfuric acid to form a white precipitate of barium sulfate, but in this case, we are not dealing with sulfuric acid in the reaction.
D. Hydrogen chloride gas turns moist red litmus paper blue is incorrect. It actually turns blue litmus paper red because it is an acid.
So, the correct answer is B. Hydrogen chloride gas forms a white precipitate with AgNO3(aq).

A compound P is taken in a flat bottomed flask as shown in figure. Dilute hydrochloric acid is added drop by drop. A gas Q is evolved which is then passed in a test tube containing R. A solid precipitate S is formed. R is frequently used in white washing. During white washing a layer of R is applied on the wall and it reacts with gas Q (present in air) to produce white shiny layer of S on the wall. P, Q, R and S respectively are : P Q R S(1) Na2SO4 SO2 Ca(OH)2 CaSO4(2) Na2SO3 O2 Ca(OH)2 CaO(3) Na2CO3 O2 Ca(OH)2 CaCO3(4) Na2CO3 CO2 Ca(OH)2 CaCO31234
