Simple enough. get the container of hydrogen and a lit splint (a match will do). open the container and put the match/splint over the opening. If there is a pop noise, it is hydrogen.

One common way to test for hydrogen gas is to use a lit splint. When a lit splint is brought near a sample of hydrogen gas, it will produce a squeaky pop sound if hydrogen is present. This is due to the combustion of hydrogen gas in the presence of oxygen.
One can test for hydrogen in a given sample by using a hydrogen gas sensor or by conducting a flame test, where hydrogen gas is ignited to produce a characteristic pop sound.
Hydrogen gas makes the 'pop test' when it is ignited, producing a distinctive popping sound. This test is commonly used to detect the presence of hydrogen gas.
You can test for the presence of hydrogen gas using a lit splint test. When a lit splint is exposed to hydrogen gas, it will produce a squeaky pop sound, indicating the presence of the gas. This test is based on the highly flammable nature of hydrogen gas.
To test hydrogen peroxide at home, you can use a simple chemical reaction with yeast. Mix hydrogen peroxide with yeast in a container and observe if it produces bubbles, which indicates the presence of hydrogen peroxide.
You can test for the evolution of hydrogen gas by collecting a gas sample from the reaction using a gas syringe or inverted test tube. You can then test this gas by lighting a flame at the mouth of the container to see if it ignites with a 'squeaky pop' sound characteristic of hydrogen gas. Alternatively, you can use a glowing splint to see if it reignites in the presence of hydrogen gas.
