Question

aluminium is above iron in the reactivity series however it reactions with oxygen and water seem to indicate that it is less reactive than iron explain
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Because even though aluminum is more reactive than iron it does not corrode as much as iron. Aluminum reacts with oxygen in the air to form a layer of oxide which protects the aluminum from further oxidation. On the other hand the oxides of iron (rust) tend to fall away, exposing the unreacted iron to further oxidation.

Answer 2

Answer:

this is the answer

Explanation:

Its reaction with water and oxygen seem to indicate that it is less reactive than iron. Why? Because even though aluminum is more reactive than iron it does not corrode as much as iron. Aluminum reacts with oxygen in the air to form a layer of oxide which protects the aluminum from further oxidation.
