Which gas is evolved when zinc granules react with dilute sulfuric acid? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which gas is evolved when zinc granules react with dilute sulfuric acid?
A. Oxygen
B. Carbon dioxide
C. Hydrogen
D. Sulfur dioxide
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Zn + H₂SO₄ → ZnSO₄ + H₂↑. Hydrogen gas is released, which burns with a pop sound. This is a test for hydrogen. Metals above hydrogen in reactivity series displace it from acids. Dilute H₂SO₄ with Zn produces H₂; with Cu, no reaction.

Question #1
In an electrochemical cell, the salt bridge provides:
A. Current
B. Ionic contact and completes the circuit
C. Electron flow
D. Voltage

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The salt bridge (often KCl-agar) allows ion migration to maintain electrical neutrality in half-cells, completing the circuit. It prevents direct mixing of electrolytes.

Question #2
The combined gas law is represented by:
A. V/T = constant
B. PV = nRT
C. PV = constant
D. P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Combined gas law combines Boyle's, Charles', and Gay-Lussac's laws for a fixed mass of gas. It relates P, V, T when all change. PV=nRT is ideal gas equation for n moles.
