Testing for Hydrogen Gas

There is a very simple test to confirm if a gas is actually Hydrogen.

Simply collect some of the gar as it comes out of the test-tube (of metal and

acid) and then, still holding the test-tube of gas upside-down, hold a lighted

splint at the opening. If it is Hydrogen gas, you will hear a squeaky pop.

There is also a slightly more complicated way to collect Hydrogen gas which

your teacher might show you.
