Question

Why only granulated zinc is preferred for the laboratory reparation of Hydrogen?

  1. It contains impurity copper, which acts as a positive catalyst
  2. It contains nickel impurity that acts as a positive catalyst
  3. Granulated zinc contains more surface area
  4. Granulated zinc is easily available

hintHint:

Pure zinc is not used for the reaction.

The correct answer is: It contains impurity copper, which acts as a positive catalyst


    The correct option is a)It contains immunity copper, which acts as a positive catalyst.
    Zinc granules are used in the production of hydrogen in laboratories. This is because it is made of zinc, and has copper impurities which acts as a catalyst and speeds up the reaction. The copper impurities have a catalysing effect and thus pure zinc is not used for the reaction.
