A bottle of dry ammonia and a bottle of dry hydrogen chloride connected through a long tube are opened simultaneously at both ends. The white ammonium chloride ring first formed will be
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Near the hydrogen chloride bottle.
Option B (Near the hydrogen chloride bottle) is correct because ammonia diffuses faster than hydrogen chloride due to its lower molecular weight, so the ring forms closer to the HCl source.
