Question 8(a)

Write balanced chemical equations for the preparation of Hydrogen, when the following are used :

(i) Alkali

(ii) Non metal

Answer

(i) Hydrogen from alkali

Zn+2NaOHNa2ZnO2[sodium zincate]+H2[g]\text{Zn} + 2\text{NaOH} \longrightarrow \underset{\text{[sodium zincate]}}{\text{Na}_2\text{ZnO}_2} + \text{H}_2 \text{[g]}

(ii) Hydrogen from non-metal

Chot coke+H2Osteam1000°C[CO+H2]water gasΔ\underset{\text{hot coke}}{\text{C}} + \underset{\text{steam}}{\text{H}_2\text{O}} \xrightarrow{1000 \degree \text{C}} \underset{\text{water gas}}{[\text{CO} + \text{H}_2 ]} - \Delta
