Name two gases which can be used in the study of the fountain experiment. State the common property demonstrated by the fountain experiment ?

Write balanced equation of dil. HCl with Calcium bicarbonate.

In the laboratory preparation of hydrochloric acid, hydrogen chloride gas is dissolved in water.

(i) Draw a diagram to show the arrangement used for the absorption of HCl gas in water.

(ii) State why such an arrangement is necessary? Give two reasons for the same.

(iii) Write balanced chemical equations for the laboratory preparation of HCl gas when the reactants are :

    (A) below 200°C

    (B) above 200°C

How would you distinguish between dilute HCl and dilute HNO₃, by addition of only one solution.
