Method: Action of dilute acid on metals

Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl2 + H2↑

Detailed Explanation

In a laboratory setting, hydrogen gas can be prepared by the reaction of a metal with a dilute acid. In this reaction, zinc (Zn) reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid (HCl) to produce zinc chloride (ZnCl2) and hydrogen gas (H2). The arrow indicates the direction of the reaction, with an upward arrow showing that hydrogen gas is released during the process.

Examples & Analogies

Think of this process like a fizzy soda can. When you open the can, carbon dioxide escapes, creating bubbles. Similarly, in this chemical reaction, hydrogen gas bubbles out of the solution when the metal reacts with the acid.

Metals and Acids Used

● Metals used: Zinc or iron
● Acids used: Dilute hydrochloric acid or sulphuric acid

Detailed Explanation

For this laboratory preparation, the metals typically used are zinc and iron. These metals are reactive enough to displace hydrogen from the acid. The acids used for the reaction are dilute hydrochloric acid (HCl) or dilute sulfuric acid (H2SO4). When these metals come in contact with these acids, they effectively release hydrogen gas.

Examples & Analogies

Imagine trying to dissolve sugar in warm water versus cold water. The warm water (like the dilute acid) helps the sugar (the metal) dissolve faster, releasing sweetened water (hydrogen gas). The metals have to be the right type and the acid needs to be present for the reaction to occur.
