Answer: Can this help
When we put a burning candle near the mouth of the test tube consisting of sulfuric acid and pieces of magnesium metal, it explodes due to the presence of hydrogen gas.
Magnesium and sulfuric acid react to give magnesium sulfate and hydrogen gas.
The reaction is:
Mg(s) + H₂SO₄(aq) -------> MgSO4(aq) + H₂(g)
When a burning candle is brought near the mouth of a test tube containing hydrogen, it explodes with a pop sound.
