yes,
sorry , i meant let the fumes ( vapours ) from the ammonium hydroxide flow over the top of whatever you have made the hcl in. then the clouds of ammonium chloride should appear.
i did the experiment after all, i did it outside with safety clothing and stuff.
but i would suggest if someone else try it, get your hands on a 2 litre boiling flask, a glass funnel, a clamp and stand, a controllable flamming heat source, and the correct connections from your reaction vessel to the collection vessel.
i tried it without these things and tasted gaseous hcl ( not nice) ,
as the retard that i am, i used a 2ltr plastic coke bottle some garden hose a glass jar and some electrical tape, so i guess i deserved the lungfull of acid gas,but at least i know it works and how to do it properly next time.
Merged post follows:
Consecutive posts mergedwould the gas evolved be able to be condensed into a concentrated form if it were in the presence of enough moisture??
what i was thinking was, to perform the NaCl and H2SO4 as somebody else and i suggested previously, and symaltaneously boil some water in another flask and connect the tubes from both vessels to a condenser.
any help on this would be much appreciated.
thanks.
