Solution

The correct option is B Hydrogen gas will evolve with greater speed.

When zinc dust is taken instead of zinc granules to react with sulphuric acid, the hydrogen gas is formed. But the rate of reaction increases in the case of zinc dust compared to the zinc granules because of an increase in the surface area the rate of reaction increases.

Thus, when zinc dust is used in the place of zinc granules, hydrogen gas is produced at a faster rate.
