Aluminum and Hydrochloric acid react violently. For instance if you have ever seen a Drain-o bomb using a plastic bottle, the combination of the 20% HCl concentration and the aluminum foil creates heat and boil releasing steam, bottle becomes unable to contain it and explodes, releasing the steam rapidly. Answer course correction: Drano is composed of Sodium Hydroxide, sodium nitrate and aluminum. The above observations are true but it's an NaOH/Al reaction giving the heat and gas. The 'grease cutting" is a result of the hot hydroxide saponifying the fats (turning them to soap) which are then soluble in water. (6NaOH + 2Al --> 3H2 + 2Na3AlO3) The reaction of Aluminum and HCl: 2Al + 6HCl --> 2AlCl3 + 3H2 All in al it looks the same (fizzes)and gets hot.

∙ 14y agohydrochloric acid and aluminum foil make hydrogen gas
i dont know how, but it does ><....
my theory is...never mind i have no theory....i just know that it makes hydrogen...

When zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid will salt and hydrogen be produced?
yes
How does it show if iron reacts with hydrochloric acid?
hydrochloric acid reacts with iron when it starts bubbling , magnesium reacts more though .
Why does the reaction of hydrochloric acid plus aluminum shavings produce more hydrogen than acetic acid plus aluminum shavings?
Because HCl is a strong acid and will ionise completely in solution. So when it reacts with aluminium, more hydrogen is produced. Acetic acid is a weak base, and produces less hydrogen gas with metals
What happens when you put hydrochloric acid on Aluminum?
Hydrochloric acid + Aluminum ----> Aluminum chloride + Hydrogen6 HCl + 2 Al ----> 2 AlCl3 + 3H2
What happens when aluminum and hydrochloric acid are mixed?
Well if you mix aluminum with hydrochloric acid, it will produce large amounts of hydrogen gas.
When zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid will salt and hydrogen be produced?
yes
Which salt is produced when copper oxide reacts with hydrochloric acid?
Copper oxide and hydrochloric acid will produce copper chloride.
What will happen when hydrochloric acid reacts with aluminum?
Aluminium trichloride (AlCl3) is formed and hydrogen is released.
How does it show if iron reacts with hydrochloric acid?
hydrochloric acid reacts with iron when it starts bubbling , magnesium reacts more though .
Zn plus 2HCl ZnCl2 plus H2 How many grams of hydogen gas are produced when 120.0g of zinc metal completely reacts with hydrochloric acid?
Approximately 240g of hydrogen gas are produced when 120.0g of zinc metal completely reacts with hydrochloric acid.
Why does the reaction of hydrochloric acid plus aluminum shavings produce more hydrogen than acetic acid plus aluminum shavings?
Because HCl is a strong acid and will ionise completely in solution. So when it reacts with aluminium, more hydrogen is produced. Acetic acid is a weak base, and produces less hydrogen gas with metals
When hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium hydrogen carbonate why is there fizzing and bubbling?
Because the gas carbon dioxide is produced.
What causes the works bomb?
From what I have read so far, there is a chemical in The works called hydrochloric acid which reacts to aluminum, smoke, and heat.
What happen when you put aluminum foil on hydrochloric acid?
if you put aluminum foil on hydrochloric acid it can flow joke! hehe
What happens when you put hydrochloric acid on Aluminum?
Hydrochloric acid + Aluminum ----> Aluminum chloride + Hydrogen6 HCl + 2 Al ----> 2 AlCl3 + 3H2
What reacts steadily with hydrochloric acid?
Zinc.
What happens when aluminum and hydrochloric acid are mixed?
Well if you mix aluminum with hydrochloric acid, it will produce large amounts of hydrogen gas.
