Aluminium react with sodium hydroxide.
The reaction is:
2 Al + 2 NaOH + 2 H2O = 2 NaAl(OH)4 + 3 H2

Are aluminum pellets magnetic?

No, aluminum pellets are not magnetic. Aluminum is a non-ferrous metal and does not exhibit magnetic properties like ferromagnetic materials such as iron, nickel, or cobalt. While aluminum can interact with magnetic fields in specific ways, it does not become magnetized or attract magnets.


How does a hydrogen gas bubble form in nuclear reactors?

If the water coolant level drops enough to expose fuel rods, the surface of those rods can then get hotter than the boiling point of water. The fuel pellets inside the rods are clad in zirconium metal, which when it gets hot enough will decompose water (both as liquid and as steam) into hydrogen and oxygen. As the hydrogen is lighter than air it accumulates as a "bubble" in the top of the reactor vessel. Note: early reactors clad the fuel pellets with aluminum, but it decomposes water at a much lower temperature than does zirconium.


How could you separate a mixture of iron and aluminum pellets?

Just fill a container with water. The aluminum is light, and less dense than the water, so it will float to the top of the container. The lead is heavy, and more dense than the water, so it will sink to the bottom of the container. You can then separate the two easily.


How its made 2 M solution of Na OH?

First, you must either find or be provided with a known mass of sodium hydroxide and a volumetric vessel. You must also know the molecular mass of sodium hydroxide, which is about 40.00. If the volume of sodium is sufficient, you can complete the preparation by determining the volume of the volume of the vessel in litres, multiply this volume by twice the molecular mass of sodium hydroxide, and dissolve the resulting mass in the known volume.


Can aluminium float in water?

A solid bar of aluminum would not float, since its density (almost 3 grams per cc) is greater than that of water (1 gram per cubic centimeter). For an object to float in water, its density would have to be less than 1.0.

What are KOH pellets?

KOH pellets are solid pellets of potassium hydroxide, a white, inorganic compound used in various industrial applications such as chemical manufacturing, cleaning agents, and electrolyte solutions. It is highly corrosive and hygroscopic, meaning it can absorb water from the air.


Will aluminum pellets float in water?

Not if the pellets are solid. Aluminum will sink in water because its density (2.7g per cc) is greater than water (1.0g per cc).


How do you prepare 1.0L of 0.1M of sodium hydroxide from solid sodium hydroxide pellets?

To prepare 1.0L of 0.1M sodium hydroxide solution, you need to dissolve 4 g of solid sodium hydroxide pellets in water and then dilute the solution to 1.0L. Measure 4 g of sodium hydroxide pellets on a balance, dissolve them in less than 1.0L of water, and then make up the volume to 1.0L with additional water. Be cautious as sodium hydroxide is a caustic compound – wear appropriate safety gear and handle with care.

Would the enthalpy change be different if solid sodium hydroxide pellets were added to hydrochloric acid instead of adding hydrochloric acid to sodium hydroxide solution?

Yes, the reaction involving the solid is actually an individual step in the equation of the reaction between the solutions. If you were to add the change in enthalpy of the reaction with the solid NaOh to the change in enthalpy of the other step in the reaction (that's adding water and the NaOh pellets) you would find the sum equivalent to the change in enthalpy of the reaction involving the two solutions (this is supported by Hess's law). I suggest that you consider Hess's law for more information.
