How does hydrochloric acid and alluminium react?

Answer 1

Hydrogen gas evolves off the reaction with the formation of a salt, Aluminum Chloride.

EXPLANATION:

Aluminium reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas and aluminum chloride. If a sample of aluminum is taken in a test tube with some drops of hydrochloric acid, it burns with a 'pop' sound if a burning matchstick is brought near the test tube, indicating the presence of hydrogen gas.

The following reaction takes place(balanced equation):

2Al(Aluminium)+6HCl(Hydrochloric acid)----->2Al3HCl(Aluminium Chloride)+3H2(Hydrogen)

Answer 2

Yes it does and violently so!

I tried removing a rust stain from the bottom of my swimming pool by directing a flow of dilute hydrochloric acid down a handy tube right onto the spot.

The handiest tube I had was the aluminum pool cleaner pole beside me.

Big mistake! The flow of acid inside the tube produced a violent and very obvious exothermic reaction, to the point where I could not hold the tube, the heat being so great. Also boiling, bubbling black liquid erupted from the top of the tube.

I threw the pole into the pool and quickly doused the splashes of black burning liquid from my arms.
