Question

In the following schematic diagram for the preparation of hydrogen gas as shown in the figure given below, what would happen if following changes are made?











(a) In place of zinc granules, same amount of zinc dust is taken in the test tube

(b) Instead of dilute sulphuric acid, dilute hydrochloric acid is taken

(c) In place of zinc, copper turnings are taken

(d) Sodium hydroxide is taken in place of dilute sulphuric acid and the tube is heated

Answer 1

HEY DEAR
Here's ur answer


i) If same amount of Zn dust is taken in the test tube then the reaction will be comparatively faster and hydrogen gas will evolve with greater speed.
It is becoz zinc dust has larger surface area than zinc granules.
(ii) With dilute HCl almost same amount of gas is evolved.
(iii) With Cu turnings, hydrogen gas will not evolve because copper is less reactive, so, it does not react with dil. HCl. Hence, no reaction will take place.
(iv) Zinc also reacts with NaOH. So, if NaOH is taken, then hydrogen gas will be evolved.


Hope it helps you ..!!!!

Answer 2

Hi mate!

Here is your answer:

1.The reaction will be comparatively faster and hydrogen gas will evolve with greater speed.

2. Almost same amount of gas is evolved.

3. No reaction. (Cu is less reactive than H and hence won't displace it)

4. Hydrogen gas will be evolved.
