Question

Write the proper well balanced chemical reactions when hydrogen is made to react with:
(i) Oxygen
(ii) Nitrogen
(iii) Sulphur

Answer 1

Answer:

2h2 +o2=2h2o

h2 + N2=2NH

h2+ s =h2S

Answer 2

Reactions with hydrogen

Explanation:

(i) When hydrogen is ignited, it makes a loud sound as the air expands rapidly and a sharp explosion is caused.

2H + O ----> H2O + energy.

(ii) Hydrogen reacts with Nitrogen to form Ammonia (NH3).

3H2(g) + N2(g) ----> 2NH3(g)

(iii) Hydrogen reacts with sulfur to form hydrogen sulphide at high temperature and in the presence of a catalyst.

8H2 + S8 = 8H2S
