Answer:
as we know sodium is highly reactive metal when kept in open air....it can readily react with air and can also burn ....also it is a very soft metal so can be cut easily with a knife ....
On the other hand Aluminium metal is not much reactive and soft ....
Explanation:
chemical reaction :-
When an acid reacts with metal, a salt and hydrogen are produced:
acid + metal → salt + hydrogen
The salt that is produced depends upon which acid and which metal react.
Sodium metal reacts with hydrochloric acid which produces hydrogen gas and sodium chloride.
2Na(s)+2HCl(aq)→2NaCl(aq)+H2(g)
The reactants are sodium metal and hydrochloric acid.
The product are hydrogen gas and sodium chloride solution.
