प्रश्न
How is hydrogen gas collected? Why?
Advertisements
उत्तर
- Hydrogen is sparingly soluble in water. Therefore, as it is collected over water, it picks up moisture. Dry hydrogen gas is obtained when it is collected over mercury.
- Since hydrogen is lighter than air, it is possible to collect the gas by downward displacement of air. But it is not safe to do so since a mixture of hydrogen and air can lead to an explosion.
