Question

What products result from the reaction of aluminum metal with hydrochloric acid?

Answer 1

`"Hydrated aluminum chloride and dihydrogen gas.........."`

Explanation:

And we can represent this by a stoichiometric equation:

`Al(s) + 3HCl(aq) rarr Al^(3+) + 3Cl^(-) + 3/2H_2(g)uarr`

else,

`2Al(s) + 6HCl(aq) rarr 2Al^(3+) + 6Cl^(-) + 3H_2(g)uarr`
