Solution
An alkali : Zn, Pb react with concentrated alkali on boiling to give the corresponding metallic salt and liberate hydrogen.
\[\ce{\underset{\text{Zinc}}{Zn} + 2NaOH ->\underset{\text{Sodium zincate}}{Na2ZnO2} + H2}\]
\[\ce{Pb + 2NaOH ->\underset{\text{Sodium plumbite}}{Na2PbO2} + H2}\]
Silver (Hg) will not react with alkali to give hydrogen.
