Question

How do you expect the metallic hydrides to be useful for hydrogen storage ? Explain​

Answer 1

Answer:

Because metal hydride will not be hydrolysed by hydrogen n thus can accommodate hydrogen easily

Answer 2

Explanation:

• In metallic hydrides, hydrogen is absorbed as H-atoms.

• Inclusion of H-atom results in the expansion of metal lattice and therefore, it becomes less stable.

• On heating, the less stable metal lattice decomposes to form hydrogen and very finely divided metal.

• The hydrogen thus produced can be used as fuel.

Thus, metallic hydrides are useful for hydrogen storage.
