Get these things:
some hydrochloric acid
some zinc strips
a clear plastic bottle that's got a small neck like a soda bottle, but that isn't a food bottle--this is so someone won't put food in it later and kill themselves
a balloon
Wear normal lab safety stuff--apron, face shield and rubber gloves.
Wash the bottle out and put hydrochloric acid in it. Put the zinc strips in the acid. Wait till it bubbles for a few minutes, then put the balloon over the neck of the bottle. The balloon will be filled with hydrogen. (You give it the few minutes so the hydrogen can push the air out of the bottle.
The equation's pretty simple: HCl + Zn = ZnCl + H
What else can I help you with?
Why granulated zinc is preferred to metallic zinc in the preparation of hydrogen using dilute acid?
Granulated zinc has a higher surface area compared to metallic zinc, allowing for a faster reaction with the dilute acid. This increased surface area increases the rate of the reaction, resulting in a more efficient production of hydrogen gas. Additionally, granulated zinc prevents the formation of a protective layer of zinc oxide, allowing for continuous reaction with the acid.
Zinc and hydrogen chloride react to produce?
When zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid it produces zinc chloride and hydrogen gas.
Is dissolving zinc in sulphuric acid is a chemical change?
Yes, the zinc reacts with th sulfuric acid to produce zinc sulfate and hydrogen gas.
What is the reaction of mossy zinc and sulfuric acid?
When mossy zinc reacts with sulfuric acid, zinc sulfate and hydrogen gas are produced. This is a single displacement reaction where zinc displaces hydrogen from sulfuric acid to form zinc sulfate and hydrogen gas. The chemical equation for this reaction is: Zn + H2SO4 → ZnSO4 + H2.
What is formed when metal reacts with acid?
When a metal reacts with an acid, it forms a salt and hydrogen gas. The metal displaces the hydrogen in the acid, leading to the formation of the salt (metal compound) and the release of hydrogen gas as a byproduct.
What is the word equation for the preparation of hydrogen?
The word equation for the preparation of hydrogen gas is: metal + acid → salt + hydrogen gas. For example, when hydrochloric acid reacts with zinc, it produces zinc chloride salt and hydrogen gas.
Why is granulated zinc is preferred to metallic zinc in the preparation of hydrogen using dilute acid?
Granulated zinc has more surface area exposed to the acid, so the reaction can occur more rapidly.
What is the word equation for zinc and hydrocloric acid?
Zinc + hydrochloric acid = zinc chloride + hydrogen
What does an acid plus zinc produce?
Hydrogen gas and a zinc salt.It produces hydrogen and zinc chloride.
Why granulated zinc is preferred to metallic zinc in the preparation of hydrogen using dilute acid?
Granulated zinc has a higher surface area compared to metallic zinc, allowing for a faster reaction with the dilute acid. This increased surface area increases the rate of the reaction, resulting in a more efficient production of hydrogen gas. Additionally, granulated zinc prevents the formation of a protective layer of zinc oxide, allowing for continuous reaction with the acid.
What does hydrochloric acid and zinc make?
Hydrochloric acid and zinc react to form zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. This is a single displacement reaction where the more reactive zinc displaces hydrogen from hydrochloric acid.
Do zinc react with dilute hydrochloric acid?
Yes, zinc does react with dilute hydrochloric acid to form zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. This is a common reaction in which the zinc displaces hydrogen from the acid to produce zinc chloride and hydrogen gas.
What is the name of zinc and sulphuric acid?
Zinc and sulfuric acid will react to form zinc sulphate and hydrogen gas.
What product is formed when you add zinc to sulfuric acid?
If you add zinc to sulfuric acid, you will get hydrogen gas as a product.
Zinc hydrogen phosphate?
Zinc hydrogen phosphate is a chemical compound with the formula ZnHPO₄. It is a white, crystalline solid. It is used in the preparation of dental cements and as a corrosion inhibitor.
Why nitric acid is not used in lab preparation hydrogen?
Nitric acid is a strong oxidizing agent that can react violently with reducing agents such as hydrogen, leading to potential explosions. This makes it unsafe to use nitric acid in the lab for the preparation of hydrogen gas. Preferred methods for generating hydrogen gas typically involve non-oxidizing acids like hydrochloric acid reacting with a metal like zinc.
What is the reaction when you mix zinc carbonate and hydrochloric acid?
You will get a positive result for hydrogen because the reaction of zinc and hydrochloric acid produces zinc chloride and hydrogen. The chlorine atoms from the hydrochloric acid attach to the zinc, leaving the hydrogen behind and thus, you have hydrogen.
