Hydrogen gas is produced when dilute hydrochloric acid is added to a reactive metal.
Balanced molecular equation of sodim metal with hydrochloric acid:
2Na(s) + 2HCl(aq) → 2NaCl(aq) + H₂(g).
Ionic equation: 2Na(s) + 2H⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq) → 2Na⁺ + 2Cl⁻(aq) + H₂(g).
Net ionic equation: 2Na(s) + 2H⁺(aq) → 2Na⁺(aq) + H₂(g).
Sodium is oxidized from oxidation number 0 (Na) to oxidation number +1, hydrogen is reduced from oxidation number +1 to oxidation number 0 (hydrogen gas H₂).
Another example:
Balanced chemical equation: Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)
Word equation: zinc + hydrochloric acid → zinc chloride + hydrogen gas
