Dilute hydrochloric acid and dilute sulphuric acid are both colourless solutions. How will the addition of barium chloride solution to each help to distinguish between the two.

Out of dilute hydrochloric acid and dilute sulphuric acid, Dilute hydrochloric acid will give a white ppt. of barium sulphate(BaSO4 ) with barium chloride solution.

H2SO4 (dil.) + BaCl2 (aq.) → BaSO4 (s) + 2HCl 

HCl(aq.) + BaCl2 (aq.) → No reaction
