Experiment

Yup there are these things called equilibrium constants(check spelling ) that you may want to google and learn about - I think you will find it interesting, that is if you dont already know about them.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but when I see something chemistry-related to help with...

2 NaCl + H2SO4 --> 2 HCl + Na2SO4

Yes, reacting salt with sulfuric acid does produce hydrogen chloride, and sodium sulfate.
The hydrogen chloride will be in gaseous form because there is no water for it to dissolve in.

But how much does it make? It can't be making that much can it? It seemed my sulphuric acid was doing nothing, is it a slow reaction?

I doubt you would be able to see a reaction taking place. No precipitate is formed, and no gas would effervesce, so the reaction is taking place... it's just not... visible.

what use is that.. I like the reaction of AgNO3 (silver nitrate) with copper wire, you can actually see the silver get deposited onto the wire, and you can take it out and scrape off silver that looks like it came from nowhere!

I get it.
