hydrogen Flashcards
hydrogen occurs in its atomic form at
high temperature
name hydrogen is given by
lavoiser
as hydro means water and gene means forming in greek
hydrogen exhibits similar properties as of
alkali metals (group 1)
halogens (group 17)
difference between alkali metals and h2
ionisation energy is very high
size is much small
difference between halogen and hydrogen
less reactive
electron affinity is much low as of halogens
predominant isotope of hydrogen
protium
1H1
heavy hydrogen
deuterium
2H1 or D
deuterium is found in terrestrial region in the form of
HD
0.0156% deuterium is mostly in ofrm of HD
radioactive isoptope
tritium
3H1 or T
tritium emits
low energy B- particles having half life period of 12.33 years
most abundant element in the universe
dihydrogen
H2
laboratory preparation of H2
- granulated zinc with dil HCl acid or dil H2SO4
Zn + 2H+(dil) –> Zn2+ + H2 - zinc with aqu alkali
Zn + 2NaOH –> Na2ZNO2 + H2
granulated zinc with dil HCl acid or dil H2SO4
Zn + 2H+(dil) –> Zn2+ + H2
zinc with aqu alkali
Zn + 2NaOH –> Na2ZNO2 + H2
pure zinc is not used in laboratory prep as
it reacts slowly with H2SO4 and addition of some impurities enhances rate of rxn
commercial production of H2
- electrolysis of water
2H2O –> 2H2 + O2 - electrolysis of aqu Ba(OH)2
- electrolysis of brine
2Cl- + 2H2O –> Cl2 + H2 + 2OH- - action of steam on coke
catalyst used in action of steam on coke
nickel
1270K
action of steam on coke reactions
C + H2O –> CO + H2
nickel catalyst (1270K)
water gas
CO + H2
synthesis (syn) gas
CO + H2
water gas or synthesis gas
when syn gas is produced from coke, it is known as
coal gasification
water gas shift reaction
CO + H2O –> CO2 + H2
673 K
catalyst = FeCrO4
catalyst used in water gas shift rxn
FeCrO4
CO2 is removed in water gas shift rxn by
scrubbing with sodium arsenite solution
(NaAsO₂)
nascent hydrogen
newly born hydrogen
Zn + H2SO4 –> ZnSO4 + 2H
adsorbed hydrogen is also known as
occluded hydrogen
