Testing hydrogen

Some squeaky pops 

​Task 1.

Watch the video to see and hear the students using hydrogen to make some squeaky pops.

Are all squeaky pops the same?

Try to explain your answer.

Task 2.

Find out and write about three ways to make hydrogen gas. In each case say what the reactants are, what the products are and   write down chemical equations for the reactions.

Task 3.

Some say that hydrogen is a perfect fuel since it is not polluting.

Explain why hydrogen is not pollution when it burns.

Others say that hydrogen is not really a clean fuel. Can you explain why they can make this claim?
