Answer
(a) When hydrogen chloride gas is passed through a solution of sodium thiosulphate a yellow precipitate of Sulphur can be seen along with water, Sodium chloride, and Sulphur dioxide gas which has a burning smell.
Na2S2O3 + 2HCl ⟶ 2NaCl + H2O + SO2 + S ↓
(b) Nitric acid is released with a pungent odour when concentrated sulphuric acid is added to a solution of potassium nitrate.
KNO3 + H2SO4 (conc.) KHSO4 + HNO3
(c) At anode, reddish brown fumes of bromine vapours are seen. At cathode, silver grey deposit of lead metal is observed.
At cathode:
Pb2+ + 2e- ⟶ Pb
At anode:
Br- ⟶ Br + e-
