Question
In the laboratory preparation of hydrogen from zinc & dilute hydrocholoric acid – state a reason for the collecting the hydrogen by downward displacement of water and not air & collecting it after all the air in the apparatus is allowed to escape.

Solution
Hydrogen is collected by downward displacement of water as it is slightly soluble in water and in air it form explosive mixture with air and also hydrogen is lighter than air.
