When A metal reacts with acid we get salt and Hydrogen gas.
Metal + dil. HCl Acid ----> Metal chloride +Hydrogen.
When Aluminum metal reacts with dilute Hydrochloric acid we get Aluminum chloride and Hydrogen gas.
THE BALANCED CHEMICAL EQUATION:
2Al (s) + 6HCl (aq)------->2 AlCl3(aq) +3 H2(g).
Metal + dil. HCl Acid ----> Metal chloride +Hydrogen.
When Aluminum metal reacts with dilute Hydrochloric acid we get Aluminum chloride and Hydrogen gas.

The answer is hydrogen.
When aluminium is dipped in hydrochloric acid, a reaction takes place between the two products. This results in the formation of aluminium chloride and hydrogen.
The above reaction can be represented as an equation as given below:
2Al + 6HCl -> 2AlCl3 + 3H2
In the above reaction, aluminium is in solid state, HCl and AlCl3 are in aqueous/liquid states, and hydrogen is in gaseous state.
