Aluminium is amphoteric which means that it displays some of the properties of both acids and bases, it will react with some bases, such as Sodium Hydroxide and also with some Acids such as concentrated Nitric Acid

Which metals react with nitric acid?

Aluminium is passive towards Nitric acid because Nitric acid forms a protective thin film on surface of Aluminium which protects from further reaction.


What are all the elements that react with aluminium?

Aluminium can react with elements such as oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, sulfur, and phosphorus to form various compounds. It can also undergo reactions with acids like hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid to produce hydrogen gas and salts.


Why doesnt aluminum react with hyrdochloric acids?

Dilute nitric or sulfuric acid shows little reaction with aluminum, but hydrochloric acid dissolves it, giving off hydrogen gas. Remember too that aluminum forms a layer of oxide in air very quickly,which protects its surface. If you test for a reaction in acid, scratch the surface just before the test.

What metals will react more violently than aluminum with hydrochloric acid?

Metals such as magnesium, zinc, and iron will react more violently than aluminum with hydrochloric acid. This is because these metals are higher in the reactivity series and will displace hydrogen gas more readily from the acid.

Why foodstuffs with acid components should not be stored in aluminium?

Acid components in food can react with the aluminium, causing it to leach into the food. This can alter the taste of the food and potentially lead to health risks from consuming excess aluminium. It is recommended to store acidic foods in non-reactive containers such as glass or stainless steel to prevent this chemical reaction.
