∙ 7y agoNo chemical can 'make' hydrogen, but thousands and thousands of compounds contain hydrogen atoms which can be, through a chemical reaction, released. An example would be sulfuric acid reacting with magnesium to form magnesium sulfate and hydrogen gas.

∙ 12y agoMost common way to collect H2 gas is by reacting acid with a metal :
Zn +2 HCl => ZnCl2 + H2
Electrolysis of H2O also yields H2.
I'm guessing by prepared you mean produced. The easiset way to prodduce/isolate hydrogen gas is to use electricity. To do this at home I have used a car battery charger, Two wires coated with rubber except for the ends, and a beaker filled with water. You will also need to smaller test tubes (Glass) and two stoppers to go with them. Place the car battery charger on a flat surface. Connect to the two wires. One to negative and one to positive. curve the other ends of the wires into hooks. Hook the wires around and into the two small glass test tubes. Place the test tubes upside down into the beaker filled with water. Turn on the car battery charger. The level of power doesn't really matter but the higher the power the faster this will go. The water should begin to bubble and gas should begin to fill the test tubes. After the test tubes are filled or the water stops seperating, carefully remove the wires from the test tubes and pull the tubes one at a time to the surface of the water. One at a time when at the surface,pull the tube out of the water and place the stopper into it sealing the gas inside. Do the same with the other tube. You now have one tube of pure oxygen, and one tube of pure hydrogen. The positive charge should have isolated the oxygen and the negative the hydrogen.

∙ 9y agoThe majority of hydrogen gas produced industrially is generated as a byproduct of the petroleum industry. In other words from fossil fuels, and this process generates large amounts of carbon dioxide at the same time.
Other ways to produce it are:
- electrolysis of water
- thermolysis of water in contact with hot aluminum or zirconium metal
- the reaction of strong acids (e.g. nitric, sulphuric, hydrochloric) with metals like zinc
- etc.

∙ 12y ago1. Zn + 2 HCl → ZnCl2 + H2
2. Treating of aluminum powder with NaOH or KOH solutions.
2 Al + 6 H2O + 2 NaOH → 2 NaAl(OH)4 + 3 H2

Also by hydrolysis hydrogen is obtained from water and sodium hydroxide.

Does hydrogen peroxide dissolve sugar?
Yes it does. i did it in a lab in school with lifesavers
What happens when Alka-Seltzer is mixed with Hydrogen Peroxide?
having just done this experiment for my chemistry lab, i found that adding it to hydrogen peroxide produces a similar reaction as adding it to water. it dissolves almost as fast.
What are two methods for producing hydrogen?
Hydrogen can be produced by: - Compressing air to the point where it becomes a liquid. Then the process of fractional distillation is used on this liquid air. - Hydrogen can be obtained by the steam reforming of methane. - Reacting some metals with water yields a base and hydrogen gas. <><><> Hydrogen can also be produced by eletrolysis of water, splitting it into oxygen and hydrogen.
What is the Difference between nascent and molecular hydrogen?
Scientifically, nascent refers to a substance at the point at which it forms. In a chemical reaction, such as zinc reacting with sulphuric acid, individual hydrogen atoms will form but VERY quickly react with another atom to give H2 molecules. This is the only common situation in which atomic hydrogen exists, even if very fleetingly.
How oxygen is prepared in lab using potassium chlorate?
Potassium Chlorate, when heated gives Potassium Chloride and Oxygen. You can use Manganese Dioxide as a catalyst to speed up the reaction.
How is amonia prepared in laboratory?
We cant prepare it in lab. But there are aquas ammoni in lab.
How is hydrogen gas prepared in the laboratory?
just use the hydrogen cylinder
How can common salt prepared in lab naturally?

Can potassium chloride be prepared from zinc and hydrogen chloride?
No, reacting zinc with hydrogen chloride will yield zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. Potassium chloride can be prepared by reacting potassium with hydrogen chloride or (more safely) potassium hydroxide with hydrogen chloride.
What is the strongest chemical in a science lab?
The strongest chemical in a science lab is Hydrogen Fluoride. The second strongest chemical is Hydrogen Chloride. Hydrogen Fluoride isn't the world's strongest chemical. The King of Liquids is the mixture of 1 Hydrogen Fluoride and 3 Hydrogen Chloride.
What causes rotten egg smell in well water?
That usually means a high concentration of iron. Get a lab analysis and be prepared to fit filters.That usually means a high concentration of iron. Get a lab analysis and be prepared to fit filters.
How do you produce hydrogen in lab?
when metal reacts with an acid, or when electricity is used to separate water into hydrogen and water.
Who first prepared water in the lab?
The question is irrelevant. The use of water predates the existence of labs.
In the cookie mining lab wich component represented the ore?
The cookie mining lab is where you learn to cook. This is getting everything prepared.
Three things that you should do to prepare for a lab?
A lab should be fully prepared before an experiment is performed. Three things that should be in a lab are, paper and pencils, beakers, and a microscope.
What is the lab method preparation of ethane?
Ethane is prepared in the laboratory by the heating of ethanol
