LABORATORY PREPARATION OF HYDROGEN
Hydrogen can prepared in the laboratory by the following method;
The reaction of dilute hydrochloric acid and with zinc metal. When a zinc reacts with diluted Hydrochloric acid, zinc chloride and Hydrogen gas is produced.
Reaction: Zn(s) + 2HCl(l) โ ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)
โข Zinc +Hydrochloric acid โ Zinc chloride + hydrogen gas
Hydrogen is a good reducing agent.
