Question 5(2016)

Identify the gas evolved and give the chemical test when dilute hydrochloric acid reacts with :

(i) Sodium sulphite.

(ii) Iron [II] sulphide.

Answer

(i) SO2 is evolved when dilute hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium sulphite.

Na2SO3 + 2HCl ⟶ 2NaCl + H2O + SO2 [g]

(ii) H2S gas is evolved when dilute hydrochloric acid reacts with Iron [II] sulphide.

FeS + 2HCl ⟶ FeCl2 + H2S
