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.

∙ 11y agoAluminium does react with Hydrochloric acid, but, it also reacts with the oxygen in the air to create a coating of aluminium oxide, which is unreactive with acid. If you remove the aluminium oxide layer before putting the aluminium in the acid it will react.

Does acid react with aluminum to produce hydrogen gas?
yes because aluminium is a highley reactive metal, and hydrogen molocues react quickley within contact with the amluminium oxide.
Which oxides react with both acids and alkali to give salt and water only?
Amphoteric Oxides. Eg = oxides of Zinc, Aluminum, Lead, etc.
Why does aluminum react with three bromine atoms?
When aluminum and bromine react, three bromine atoms combine with each aluminum atom.
The solids aluminum and sulfur react to produce aluminum sulfide?
no.
Will acids attack metal?
hydrochloric is the only one easily obtained if you are doing this for a progect, im sure their are others. but overall most acids do not corrode metals.Answer:Essentially all acids will corrode metals by turning the metals into metalic ions or salts.
Does aliminum react with acids?
Yes. aluminum will react with some acids. But after being exposed to air it forms an oxide layer that many acids can't penetrate.
Does acid react with aluminum to produce hydrogen gas?
yes because aluminium is a highley reactive metal, and hydrogen molocues react quickley within contact with the amluminium oxide.
Does hot water react with aluminum?
No, hot water doesnt go through the foil
What metals will react more violently than aluminum with hydrochloric acid?
Magnesium, Calcium and Sodium react violently with acids as compare to Aluminium.
What are the differences in acids and bases?
Acids is a substance that has the following properties. *Acids have sour taste. *Acids cause color changes in plant dyes * Acids react with certain metals,such as Zinc,Aluminum,and Magnesium, to produce hydrogen gas. Base have a bitter taste. Base feel slippery. Base react with acids to produce salts and water. Base are corrosive.
Can aluminum pots be used pickling?
You should aviod the use of aluminum pots, pans, and prepware that comes into direct contact with food you are canning. The salts and acids of foods can react with it.
Do silicates react with acids as carbonates do?
No. Silicates do not easily react with acids.
What acids react with each other?
citric acids react with each other
Does anything not react with acids?
Many plastics and glasses will not react with most acids.
What do acids react with what?
Acids react -in most cases, but not exclusively- well with basic (alkaline) compounds.
Reactions with aluminum and word equations?
Aluminium react with oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, halogens, sodium and potassium hydroxide, some acids, etc.
Which oxides react with both acids and alkali to give salt and water only?
Amphoteric Oxides. Eg = oxides of Zinc, Aluminum, Lead, etc.
