Explain the reactions of aluminium with ...

Explain the reactions of aluminium with acids.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Aluminium reacts with dilute or conc. HCl liberating `H_2`.
`2Al + 6HCl to 2AlCl_3 + 3H_2`
With dil. `H_2SO_4` it reacts slowly in cold condition but reacts fast in hot condition.
`2Al+3H_2SO_4 to Al_2(SO_4)_3 + 3H_2`
With conc. `H_2SO_4` it liberates `SO_2` .
`2Al+6H_2SO_4 to Al_2(SO_4)_3 + 6H_2O + 3SO_2`
With very dil. `HNO_3` it gives `NH_4NO_3`.
`8Al+30HNO_3 to 8Al(NO_3)_3 + 3NH_4NO_3 + 9H_2O`
Concentrated nitric acid renders the aluminium passive .
