1 Rate of diffusion of ammonia and hydrogen chloride (Teacher demonstration)
4 Why are the solutions which produce the gases placed at the end of a glass tube, rather than just
placing them at opposite sides of a closed fume cupboard?

5 Why is it important that the experiment takes place in a fume cupboard?
....................................................................................................................................................................................................
6 Suggest how increasing the length of the tube would affect the time of formation of the white solid.

8 Does the ring form closer to the ammonia or hydrogen chloride end of the tube?
....................................................................................................................................................................................................
9 Explain why the white solid forms closer to this end of the tube.
