Hydrogen gas (H2) can be produced through many different processes. Students performed the following experiments to study how H2 forms.Experiment 1An Erlenmeyer flask was filled with 100 mL of 1 M hydrochloric acid (HCl). A 0.327g sample of zinc (Zn) was placed inside a balloon. The balloon was then fitted over the top of the flask, forming an airtight seal, as shown in Figure 1.

The zinc was allowed to drop into the HCl, a reaction took place, forming H2 gas that caused the balloon to expand. The gas in the balloon was allowed to adjust to room temperature and pressure, and the final volume of the gas was recorded. The remaining zinc, if any, was weighed. The procedure was repeated with different volumes of HCl and masses of Zn. The results were recorded in Table 1.

*Note: Zn has a molar mass of 65.4 g/mol.Based on the data obtained in the experiment, the following equation was suggested for the reaction:2HCl + Zn → ZnCl2+ H2 Experiment 2Two zinc electrodes were mounted vertically in a glass beaker, as shown in Figure 2.

The beaker was then filled with enough deionized H2O so that the electrodes were completely submerged. Test tubes filled with H2O were placed over each of the electrodes. Insulated wires were then connected between each electrode and opposite ends of a battery. A reaction took place, forming bubbles of gas at each electrode. The battery was then disconnected and the test tubes were removed from the apparatus. The final volume of gasin each test tube was recorded. It was determined that 1 molecule of H2 gas was produced for every H2O reacted:2 H2O → 2 H2 + O2
