The H 2 can be generated from the aluminum water reaction. Hydrogen generation rate by using aluminum from soft drink was measured by immersing samples in H 2 SO 4 ,N a 2 SO 4 , KOH, and NaOH solutions. No observable amount of hydrogen is generated in acidic or in neutral solutions. At a given concentration, the generation rate of H 2 is higher in NaOH solution than in KOH solution. High generation rate of H 2 is obtained in concentrated NaOH as well as in concentrated KOH solutions. The gas volume of H 2 generation can be fitted into a semi-empirical equation as function of reaction time. The H 2 generation rate can be divided into two stages. During the first stage, hydrogen generation rate increases as the reaction continued. It reaches a maximum then gradually reduced in the second stage of reaction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
