Explain Anodising of Aluminium equation?

Explain anodising of aluminium equation?The equation is :6OH-(aq) + 2Al(s) → 3H2O(l) + Al2O3(s) + 6e-1) Why doesn't aluminium dissolve into aluminium ions? Aluminium is the electrode after allIt seems easier to take electrons from aluminium electrodeElectrode is a big factor in predicting reactions according to examples.2) Why does OH- react instead of H2O? [OH-] is very low due to the H+ by H2SO4 and originally low auto ionisation of water.3) Why do descriptions say O2 is liberated at anode when it is not a product in the equation?

Answer:

I don't know that I've ever heard of a skyscraper made of aluminumAlthough aluminum is almost as strong as steel (tensile strength), it's modulus of elasticity is about 1/3 that of steel, so it would tend to sway in the breeze about 3 times as much as a steel structureAnd vibrations from earthquakes would be a real problem (more of a problem than it already is for steel).
use the Peano's problems solving method
