What is the function of water in an experiment where dry hydrogen chloride gas is passed through heated zinc turnings and then the gas produced is bubbled through water and then passed through heated lead (2) oxide
Answered by DrBob222
The bubbling through water step is to remove the excess dry HCl gas. Otherwise any HCl gas at that pont will give a competing reaction with the PbO.
