Question

alluminium does not react with water at room temperature but naoh and hcl do . verify statements expermentally write your observations with chemical equations . from these observations can we conclude that al is a metalliod by an experiment

Answer 1

Answer:

Aluminium is amphoteric . So it reacts with both acids and bases.

2Al +6HCl (acid)→ 2AlCl

3

+3H

2

Al +3NaOH (base) → Al(OH)

3

+3Na

Metals react with only acids. Non-metals with bases.

Metalloids react with both.So Aluminium is a metalloid.
