Why does aluminum react slowly even though it is a very reactive metal?

Aluminum is very reactive but it appears to react slowly because first it reacts with air which makes a thin coating of aluminum oxide which has to wear away before there will be any visiual reaction.

Can aluminum and hydrogen chloride make hydrogen?
Yes, aluminum is a reactive metal than hydrogen. So it undergoes a displacement reaction and emits hydrogen along with aluminum chloride as the other product.

What happens if you put copper metal into a solution of aluminum sulfate?
Nothing will happen. Displacement reaction only happens when the element is more reactive than the salt solution. An example will be the otherwise. If you put aluminum metal into a solution of Copper (II) Sulfate. The aluminum metal will displace copper metal and you will have a solution of Aluminum Sulfate and copper metal. As long the element you put into the salt solution is more reactive than the cation of the solution, it will displace the metal.
