Im not an experienced chemist, have some experience in explosions, electricity acids.I have done experiments using battery acid (H2SO4) at home.But not HCL.I got some HCL from Harpic (toilet cleaner)[9.5% w/v]Got an aluminium foil from a capacitor,couple of iron sheets out of a transformer and some hair like strings of copper wire from another transformer.So i have copper,iron,aluminium.If i want to get results by combining each metal with HCL what amounts should I use? 2)Al + HCL ?3)Cu + HCL ?4)Fe + HCL ?
Look up the activity series of the metals Al should react to give hydrogen gas and a solution of aluminum chlorideCu won't react Fe is sufficiently active that it should react, but with your dilute solution it will probably be very slow maybe half a gram of the metal to 20-30 mL of the acid?
