Q31 of 40 Page 50

A compound A reacts with H2SO4 acid and releases gas B with effervescence. Gas B burns with a pop sound. State names of A and

B and the chemical equation.

It is given that a compound A reacts with H2SO4 acid and releases gas B with effervescence. Gas B burns with a pop sound.

If the gas burns with a pop sound, this means gas B is hydrogen. Hydrogen gas gives pop sound when it burns.


The compound A must be a metal, i.e., zinc. When zinc reacts with H2SO4, it releases hydrogen gas and forms a salt. The reaction is:


Zn + H2SO4 ZnSO4 + H2


Thus, compound A is zinc


B is hydrogen gas.
