In the following diagram, what would happen if some amount of sodium hydroxide is taken in place of sulphuric acid and the test tube is heated :(a) Same amount of H2 gas is evolved(b) H2 gas is not evolved(c) The amount of H2 gas evolved in much less(d) In place of H2 gas, O2 gas evolved

Answer»

Correct answer is (a) Same amount of H2 gas is evolved

\(Zn + 2 NaOH\, \overset{\triangle}{\longrightarrow}\) \(\underset{\text{sodium zincate}}{Na_2 ZnO_2} + \underset{\text{Hydrogen gas}}{H_2 \uparrow}\)

\(Zn + H_2SO_4\, \longrightarrow\) \(\underset{\text{sodium sulphate}}{ZnSO_4} + \underset{\text{Hydrogen gas}}{H_2 \uparrow}\)

Same amount of H2 gas is evolved. it depends on only amount of zinc metal (NaOH and H2SO4 are in excess).
