(12 marks)2. : (a) A teacher asked a student to describe an experiment to illustrate a
redox reaction using concentrated hydrochloric acid.
The following is the student’s answer. There are three mistakes in
this answer, two of which have been underlined by the teacher.
‘Set up the apparatus in a fume cupboard as shown in the
diagram below. Pour concentrated hydrochloric acid
into a filter funnel. Pass the gas generated through a
U-tube containing soda_lime to dry the gas and to
remove hydrochloric acid fumes. Collect the gas by
downward displacement of air.’
