Detailed Solution

Aluminum and zinc metal evolve hydrogen gas from sodium hydroxide solution.

Zn+2NaOHNa2ZnO2+H2

2Al+2NaOH+2H2O2NaAlO2+3H2

Several nonmetals convert hydride as,

P4+3NaOH+3H2O3NaH2PO2+PH34S+6NaOHNa2S2O3+2Na2S+3H2OCl2+2NaOHNaCl+NaClO+H2O

This reaction of Cl2 is with cold and dilute NaOH.

3Cl2+6NaOH5NaCl+NaClO3+3H2O

This reaction of Cl2 is with hot and conc. NaOH.

Both the statements are correct but how aluminum and zinc metal evolve hydrogen gas from sodium hydroxide solution is not explained.

Hence, Assertion: is True, Reason  is True, reason  is NOT a correct explanation for assertion.
