Give a balanced chemical equation for the following:
(i) Laboratory preparation of hydrogen.
(ii) Preparation of hydrogen from an alkali.
(i) Laboratory preparation of hydrogen
Zn + 2HCl ⟶ ZnCl2 + H2 ↑
(ii) Hydrogen from alkali
Zn+2NaOH⟶Na2ZnO2[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]}Zn+2NaOH⟶[sodium zincate]Na2ZnO2+H2[g]
