property of conc. H2SO4

2012-11-04 1:03 am
Why the non-volatile property of conc H2SO4 is the reason that when conc H2SO4 is heated with sodium halides, hydrogen halides are given off.

plz explain the principle behind? thanks!

It's all about equilibrium.
H2SO4(l) + NaX(s) <======> NaHSO4(s) + HX(g)

While sodium halides and sodium hydrogensulfate are solid, sulfuric acid is non-volatile. Hydrogen halides are volatile, and vaporize rapidly in concentrated solutions especially under elevated temperature.

When mixed, HX are continuously removed from the reaction mixture, driving the equilibrium position to the RHS and yields more product.

If HX are not volatile, they would remain dissolved in the mixture and are not coming out and extracted.
