Question

What is ammonium hydroxide? Explain with a suitable equation why the term is (5) misleading and what would be a better term for it.

Answer 1

The ammonium hydroxide is a catalyst. The aluminum reacts with the water VERY SLOWLY to form aluminum hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The speed at which it occurs is just ridiculously slow. There are no visible effects on the aluminum for weeks, we're talking YEARS. I've hooked it up in an indirect reaction to harvest electrical current, and though you get almost a volt, the current is in micro amps.

hope it's help u
