What happens if a acid hits aluminum​

Chemistry
2 answers:
satela [25.4K]3 years ago

Answer:

Acids that form a complex with aluminum ions can eat their way through the oxide coating, however, so concentrated hydrochloric acid can dissolve aluminum. Zinc is also very reactive and lacks the passivating layer found on aluminum, so it reduces hydrogen ions from acids like hydrochloric acid to form hydrogen gas.

Show how water can serve as a base by showing the chemical equation of water reacting with hydrochloric acid. g
goldfiish [28.3K]
So, water reacts with hydrochloric acid in the following formula

H2O + HCl —-> H3O+ + Cl-

We can visualize that when the two react, the hydrogen ions is taken on by the water molecule. This satisfies one of the definitions for a base

Bronsted acids = anything that donates a proton (H+ ion)

Bronsted bases = anything that accepts a proton (H+ ion)

So, as we can see, that is exactly what is happening. The Cl- and H+ detach and then the water takes on that extra H+.

H3O+ is what we call a hydronium ion
