Solution

The correct option is B

H₂


Explanation of the correct option:

Option B: Zinc (Zn) reacts with Sodium hydroxide(NaOH) to form Sodium zincate Na2ZnO2 with the evolution of hydrogen gas and the reaction takes place at a temperature of 550C. Because some metals react with alkalis to produce salt and H2 gas. In this reaction, Zinc is metal and NaOH is the alkalis and in the reaction Sodium zincate (salt) and Hydrogen gas is produced. The reaction is given below:

Zn(s)Zinc+2NaOH(aq)Sodiumhydroxide2Na2ZnO2(aq)SodiumZincate+H2(g)Hydrogen

Final Answer: Zinc(Zn) reacts with Sodium hydroxide(NaOH) to form sodium zincate with the evolution of hydrogen gas.
