Choose the correct option to complete the following reaction:
2Al (s)+6HCl (aq)→
2AlCl3 (aq)+3H2 (g)
Acids react with metals to form their respective metal salt and hydrogen gas. Aluminium (Al) is a reactive metal. It reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid (HCl) to form aluminium chloride (AlCl3) and hydrogen gas (H2). The reaction involved is:
2Al (s)+6HCl (aq)→2AlCl3 (aq)+3H2 (g)
