उत्तर
Dilute sulphuric acid.
Conc. nitric acid, even in its diluted form, is not used in the preparation of hydrogen from metals because it is a powerful oxidising agent and oxygen formed due to its decomposition oxidises hydrogen to give water, thus defeating the purpose of the reaction.
Conc. sulphuric acid is not used in the preparation of hydrogen as it will produce sulphur dioxide.
