Question #1
Which gas is evolved when zinc granules react with dilute sulfuric acid?
A. Oxygen
B. Hydrogen
C. Sulfur dioxide
D. Carbon dioxide

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
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.
