What is the balanced equation for the effect of acid on aluminum?
If we are talking HCl, the oxidized Aluminum (which loses electrons to form Al 3+) Forms AlCl3 insteadI'm pretty sure this is rightIt is an oxidation-redox reaction and the Aluminum loses electrons so that the Hydrogens can form diatom H2 moleculesIf this seems good to you, please rate it the best answer! Type of acid doesn't matter; since it is so general it can be assumed to be an Arhennius acid, I.Eone that dissociates to yield H+ ions.
