Concentrated hydrochloric acid when kept in open air sometimes produces a cloud of white fumes. The explanation for it is that :A. due to strong affinity for water, concentrated hydrochloric acid pulls moisture of air towards itself. This moisture forms droplets of water and hence the cloud.B. concentrated hydrochloric acid emits strongly smelling HCl gas all the timeC. oxygen in air reacts with the emitted HCl gas to form a cloud of chlorine gasD. strong affinity of HCl gas for moisture in air results in formation of droplets of liquid solution which appears like a cloudy smoke.

Answer» Correct Answer - D Concentrated hydrochloric acid produces vapours of HCl. As HCl has strong affinity for moisture it results in the formation of droplets of liquid solution which appears like a cloudy smoke.
