(Novice: "Try this.", Methods Discourse), I thought of the idea of making anhydrous HCl in IPA using, the following scheme.
Make a suspension of eqimolar amounts of NaCl and CaO in IPA, and drip in equimolar amounts of conc. sulfuric acid. Wouldn't this release HCl in situ into the IPA over time, leaving Ca(OH)2 and NaHSO4 as a sludge to be filtered off?
Any ideas, comments?
Thanks, regards

Found the chart (https://www.thevespiary.org/rhodium/Rhodium/chemistry/equipment/dryingagent.html)
(https://www.thevespiary.org/rhodium/Rhodium/chemistry/equipment/dryingagent.html) on rhodium's side, that states that they are not compatible. But isn't this simply if they contain amines, which will be complexed?
Besides that the CaCl2, will be converted to CaSO4 the instant the sulfuric acid is added.
On the other hand, one could premix the acid and alcohol, and then add the finely powdered CaCl2 carefully, to ensure complete conversion.
Hest> Gassing is cool in a real lab with fumehood etc. Gassing is not fun when confined to less fancy locations ;) So there: You are and old grumpy gassing man :P
Enjoy
