What would you see if reactive aluminum was dropped into sulfuric acid?

As aluminium is a reactive metal, it will oxidise in air to form a hard coating of aluminium oxide which surrounds the metal. To observe the reaction of sulphuric acid and aluminium, this coating must first be specially removed. Effervescence will be observed, and hydrogen gas will be produced.
aluminium + sulphuric acid (reacts to form) aluminium sulphate + hydrogen gas

NO!! It's wrong.
A2O3 + 3H2SO4 -> Al2(SO4) + 3H2O
should be
Al2(SO4)3
because alumnium has a charge of 3+

Is aluminum good for carrying sulfuric acid?
If you mean using it as a container, no. Sulfuric acid reacts with aluminum and so would eat through any container made of it.
What is the OH concentration of sulfuric acid?
That would depend on the concentration of the sulfuric acid.
Will sulfuric acid corrode copper?
Sorry, copper does not react with sulphuric acid because it is not reactive enough to do so. Only metals which are higher than hydrogen in the reactivity series will react with sulphuric acid.
The formula for sulfuric acid is H2SO4 A mole of sulfuric acid would have a mass of grams?
It would be 98 grams.
Would carbon or fluorine atom be more reactive?
Fluorine would be more reactive. Fluorine is the most reactive element.

Is chromium more reactive than aluminum?
Yes, aluminum is more reactive than chromium. This would be the case in both a reactivity series or electrochemical series. Please see the related link for more information.
Which two metals would react with aluminum nitrate in a displacement reaction?
There are several metals that react with Aluminum Nitrate in a single displacement reaction. Aluminum is relatively reactive, but the most reactive metals are Potassium (K), Sodium (Na), Lithium (Li), Strontium (Sr), Calcium (Ca) and Magnesium (Mg). Those will all displace Aluminum in Aluminum Nitrate.
What would cause aluminum to red rust?
Although Aluminium is less reactive in the reactivity series it forms oxides (Aluminium oxide)when it reacts with oxygen (air) to form white rust.However impurities in Aluminum also cause white rust.
Is stainless or aluminum better for a food prep table?
== == I have never seen anyone use aluminum. It seems like it would be prohibitively expensive. Also it is "reactive" so i know some foods can't be prepared in aluminum pans. Also i have no idea how aluminum would react to your more caustic cleaning agents. Also, stainless is much stronger and won't dent or bend over time.
How do you convert lead nitrate to metallic lead?
If you have a solution of Lead nitrate, place some zinc, or iron into it and the metals will displace.Zn(s) + PbNO3(aq) → ZnNO3(aq) + Pb(s)Any metal that is more reactive than lead, such as tin, nickel, iron, manganese, aluminum, magnesium, sodium, calcium, barium, potassium, lithium. That order is in order from least reactive to most reactive. Note that the more reactive it is the faster and more exothermic (heat produced) the reaction will be. I would personally use aluminum as you can get foil which is thin (large surface area) and much more reactive.

What would happen if you put sulfuric acid in water?
You'd get dilute sulfuric acid. The temperature would go up (possibly a lot), since the dissociation of sulfuric acid in water is exothermic.
