Solution

The correct option is B Reaction between Zn and conc. H2SO4.
(A) Iron reacts with dil. HCl to produce ferrous chloride and hydrogen.
Fe+2HClFeCl2+H2
(B) Zinc reacts with dil sulphuric acid to produce zinc sulphate and hydrogen (lab method).
Zn+dil.H2SO4ZnSO4+H2.
However conc. sulphuric acid cannot be used because SO2 and H2O is evolved.
H2SO4+H22H2O+SO2.
(C) Zinc reacts with NaOH to form sodium zincate and hydrogen.
Zn+2NaOHNa2ZnO2sodium zincate+H2
(D) During electrolysis of aqueous NaCl in Nelson's cell, hydrogen gas is obtained. Water dissociates to small extent:
H2OH++OH.
Hydrogen ions are reduced to hydrogen.
2H++2eH2.
