I mixed hydrochloric acid with isopropyl alchohol and potassium nitrate and allowed to sit for a while. It gave off a yellow gas which I think might have been chlorine and afterwards I filtered off the remaining solid which was a cream white color. What is the product?
Answer:
Nitrates are not strong enough oxidisers to produce chlorine from HCl (Don't do this with potassium permanganate tho)
so gas is possibly NO2 or nitric acid fume. The solid might be potassium nitrite.
KCl
the isopropyl alcohol evaporated and the nitrate was reduced to NO gas which is yellow in color the oxygen boiled off as did the hydrogen gas
