Identification of Gases
Identification of Gases: Overview
This topic deals with an experiment for the detection of different gases. It mentions the procedure and observations of the experiment in tabular form. It also covers various questions based on the identification of gases.
Important Questions on Identification of Gases
Give a chemical test to distinguish between gases.

Which gas will evolve by the reaction of manganese dioxide with hydrochloric acid? Explain in detail.

Select whether the following statement is true or false:
Nitrogen dioxide gas can be identified by its violet colour.

Write the balanced chemical equation for the thermal decomposition of cupric nitrate.

Select what would be the colour of the gas if it has to be identified as nitrogen dioxide gas.

Hydrated copper sulphate loses its water molecules on heating and turns white.

Water vapours when passed over anhydrous copper sulphate, the colour changes from:

Reaction between a solid sodium salt A with concentrated sulphuric produces a gas B which when reacts with ammonia forms ammonium chloride. Identify A and B.

White solid mass is observed when glass rod dipped in ammonia is brought near the fumes of hydrogen chloride. The white mass is:
