Question

2 mL of sodium hydroxide solution is added to a few pieces of granulated zinc metal
taken in a test tube. When the contents are warmed, a gas evolves which is bubbled
through a soap solution before testing. Write the equation of the chemical reaction
involved and the test to detect the gas. Name the gas which will be evolved when the
same metal reacts with dilute solution of a strong acid.

Answer 1

the evolved gas is hydrogen gas and the chemical equation is. NaOH+Zn=NaO2ZnO2+H2

Answer 2

the gas evolved will be hydrogen gas
