Study Notes

Hydrogen Properties

  • Hydrogen has an atomic number of 1.
  • Hydrogen can react with metal oxides to produce metal and water.

Reactions of Hydrogen

  • When sulphuric acid reacts with zinc, the main product is hydrogen gas.
  • Hydrogen reacts with chlorine to produce hydrogen chloride gas.

Hydrogen Combustion

  • When hydrogen burns with oxygen, a popping sound is heard due to the rapid expansion of gases during combustion.

Reactivity of Metals with Hydrogen

  • Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, and Barium react with cold water to produce hydrogen gas.
  • Iron reacts with steam to produce hydrogen gas.

Hydrogen Facts

  • Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe.
  • Hydrogen is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas.
  • Hydrogen is a highly flammable gas.

Reasons for Hydrogen's Use

  • Hydrogen is used as a fuel for rockets and spacecraft.
  • Hydrogen is used in the production of ammonia and methanol.

Reasons for Helium's Use

  • Helium has replaced hydrogen in weather observation balloons due to its non-flammable nature.

Reactions of Acids with Zinc

  • Zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce zinc chloride and hydrogen gas, the balanced chemical equation is: Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl2 + H2

Nitric Acid

  • Nitric acid is not used for the preparation of hydrogen gas because it is an oxidizing agent and reacts with hydrogen to form nitrogen oxides.
