Question:

If aluminium is mixed with another metal can it still be a superconductor?

I've read that aluminium on its own can be a superconductor. However can it still be one if it is mixed with another metal as an alloy?

Answer:

Your question is confusing. There is no compound called aluminium acid. Aluminium metal will react with acids such as hydrochloric acid (HCl) to form aluminium chloride: 2Al + 6HCl → 2AlCl3 + 3H2 Also you can react aluminium with sulphuric acid, and get aluminium sulphate: 2Al + 3 H2SO4 → Al2(SO4)3 + 3H2 But not aluminium acid.
Aluminum by itself is very weak superconductor. If I recall it correctly, its critical temperature is 150 mK. Usually alloys of two or more superconductors are better superconductors than each of the components. Aluminum will probably improve as semiconductor a great deal if something like Sn is mixed in.
