Solution

Hydrogen gas is liberated due to the reaction of Aluminium $(A l)$ with Sodium hydroxide $(N a O H)$ solution.
The chemical equation for the reaction is:
$2 A l (s) + 2 N a O H (s) + 2 H_{2} O (l) \to 2 N a A l O_{2} (s) + 3 H_{2} (g) A l u m i n i u m S o d i u m w a t e r S o d i u m h y d r o g e n h y d r o x i d e a l u m i n a t e$
