Hydrogen chloride gas is prepared by adding concentrated sulfuric acid to
solid sodium chloride. The same method was used to prepare hydrogen
iodide but the yield is very low when concentrated sulfuric acid is added to
solid sodium iodide.
Which deductions can be made from the above?
1 Iodide is a stronger reducing agent than chloride.
2 Concentrated sulfuric acid is a weaker oxidising agent than hydrogen
chloride.
3 The reactions between the sodium halides and concentrated sulfuric
acid are redox reactions.
