C) Ammonia and hydrogen chloride

The fountain experiment involves the mixing of two gases that react to form a solid product, which is then ejected out of the container in a visually striking manner, resembling a fountain. In this case, the reaction between ammonia (NH3) and hydrogen chloride (HCl) forms solid ammonium chloride (NH4Cl).

The equation for the reaction is:

NH3(g) + HCl(g) → NH4Cl(s)

Since both ammonia and hydrogen chloride are gases and can be mixed, and the resulting solid product forms a visible fountain-like effect, option C (Ammonia and hydrogen chloride) is suitable for demonstrating the fountain experiment.

It is because those gases(HCl and NH3) are soluble in water
