STUDY QUESTIONS
Preparation of Hydrogen Class-8th Goyal Brothers ICSE Chemistry Solutions Ch-7 Unit-1
Question: 1. Name three metals which react with cold water to form hydrogen gas. Support your answer with fully balanced chemical equations.
Answer: reacts readily with water to form hydrogen gas & corresponding hydroxide.
Question: 2. Name three metals which in red hot state react with steam to liberate hydrogen gas, support your answer with fully balanced chemical equations.
Answer: Aluminum(Al), Zinc(Zn), and Iron(Fe) are the three metals that react with steam to form hydrogen gas.
2Al+3H2O→Al2O3+3H2
Zn+H2O→ZnO+H2
2Fe+3H2O→Fe2O3+3H2
Question: 3. Name four metals which react with caustic soda or caustic potash solution on boiling and liberate hydrogen gas. Support your answer by writing a fully balanced equation for any one of the above named metals.
Answer: The metals that react with caustic soda or caustic potash to liberate hydrogen gas are Al, Zn, Pb and Cd.
2Al(s) + 2NaOH(aq) + 6H2O(l) → 2Na[Al(OH)4] (sodium aluminate) + 3H2(g)
Question: 4. Name two metals which react with dilute sulphuric acid or dilute hydrochloric acid to liberate hydrogen gas. Support your answer by writing fully balanced equations of any one of the named metal with (a) dilute sulphuric acid (b) dilute hydrochloric acid.
Answer: Zn and Mg are two of the metals that can release hydrogen gas from dilute sulphuric and hydrochloric acid.
Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl2 + H2Mg + H2SO4 → MgSO4 + H2
Mg + 2HCl → MgCl2 + H2
Question: 5. Briefly describe an experiment to prove that water contains two volumes of hydrogen and one volume of oxygen.
Answer:

Question: 6. (a) By drawing neat diagram explain how hydrogen gas is collected in laboratory.
Answer:
a)
Hydrogen gas is collected by the downward displacement of water.
Here, zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid and it will lead to the release of hydrogen gas and zinc chloride is formed.
(b) What is importance of copper sulphate solution in above reaction?
Answer: Copper is used in this reaction because it will act as a catalyst and will increase the rate of reaction.
