उत्तर
Experiment 1
Procedure: Bubble hydrogen gas by means of a small pipe into a dish containing soap solution.
Observation: Soap bubbles filled with H2 rise upwards.
Conclusion: Hydrogen is lighter than air hence soap bubbles filled with hydrogen rise up.

Experiment 2
Procedure: Take two dry test tubes.
Test tube 'A' - Filled with hydrogen.
Test tube 'B' - Filled with air.
Place test tube 'B' over test tube 'A' and test the gas in the upper test tube 'B' with a glowing splinter.

Observation: A 'pop' sound is heard in test tube 'B'. [hydrogen burns with a 'pop' sound].
Conclusion: Hydrogen is lighter than air and has moved upwards displacing the air.
