Answer / Solution

Hydrogen gas is liberated when an acid reacts with a metal. For example, when zinc metal reacts with dil.

HCL Hydrogen is evolved and salt zinc chloride is formed as:

Zn (g) + 2HCL (aq) → ZnCl2 (aq) + H2 (g) 

To test the presence of H2 gas, bring a burning splinter near the mouth of the test tube where H2 gas is released, the match stick bums with a pop sound.
