The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Copper does not replace hydrogen from $ HCl $ because in electrochemical series, it is present below hydrogen. $Al, Na$ and $Mg$ are present above hydrogen in electrochemical series, so they replace hydrogen.

Preparation of Dihydrogen

Laboratory Preparation of Dihydrogen is given below:

  • Reacting Zinc with Acid - One common way to produce or prepare dihydrogen gas in the lab is by reacting Zinc with a diluted acid.

\(Zn + H_2SO_4 → ZnSO_4 + H_2\)

\(Zn +HCl → ZnCl_2 + H_2\)

  • Reacting Zinc with Alkaline - Zinc can also react with an aqueous alkali such as Sodium Hydroxide, The sodium and zinc will combine and produces dihydrogen as another product. The reaction is given as:

\(Zn + 2NaOH → Na_2ZnO_2 + H_2\)

  • Commercial Preparation of Dihydrogen - The commercial preparation of hydrogen is a huge industry due to the high demand for hydrogen in the production of fertilizers and the oil-refining process.
