The metal that gives hydrogen gas upon treatment with both the acid as well as the base is

Options

  1. AZinc
  2. BMagnesium
  3. CIron
  4. DMercury

Correct answer

A. Zinc

Step-by-step solution

(i) Mg+HCl→MgCl2+H2↑Mg+NaOH→(OH)2+NaMg + HCl \to MgC{l}_{2} + {H}_{2} ↑ Mg + NaOH \to {\left(OH\right)}_{2} + Na
(ii) Fe+HCl→FeCl3+H2↑Fe+2OH−→Fe(OH)2+2NaFe + HCl \to Fe{Cl}_{3} + {H}_{2} ↑ Fe + 2{OH}^{-} \to Fe{\left(OH\right)}_{2} + 2Na
(iii) ZnZn is amphoteric in nature, so it reacts with acid as well as base.
Zn+HCl→ZnCl2+12H2(g)↑Zn+NaOH→ZnO2−2+H2(g)↑Zn + HCl \to ZnC{l}_{2} + \dfrac{1}{2}{H}_{2}\left(g\right) ↑ Zn + NaOH \to {ZnO}_{2}^{- 2} + {H}_{2}\left(g\right) ↑
(iv)
Hg+NaOH→Hg+HgO+H2OHg+2HCl→Hg2Cl2+H2(g)Hg + NaOH \to Hg + HgO + {H}_{2}OHg + 2HCl \to H{g}_{2}C{l}_{2} + {H}_{2} ( g )
