Question

what happens when aluminium reacts with steam

Answer 1

on reaction it produces aluminium oxide and hydrogen gas.
2Al(s)+3H₂O(g)→Al₂O₃(s)+3H₂(g)

Answer 2

When Aluminium reacts with steam, Displacement reaction takes place and the products formed are: Aluminum oxide and Hydrogen gas

Below is the balanced chemical equation for the following chemical reaction.

$Al_{(s)}$ + $H2O_{(g)}$ ⇒ $Al2O3_{(s)}$ + $H_{2(g)}$
