Sodium hydroxide and Aluminum

[thesnotfIakes]

take a big DEEP breath of that, it's good for you.

This is retarded. That's not sodium hydroxide. Sodium hydroxide is a base, not an acid, and it won't react with aluminum.

@Libertarianist

ever had a pickle?

@Libertarianist

To be more direct

2Al + 2NaOH + 2H2O => 2NaAlO2 + 3 H2

H2 is the liberated gas

NaAlO2 is a salt called alum, and is used in the flavoring of pickles.

Technically thats the overall reaction and the steps of the reaction include the formation of a complex ion of [AlOH4]-1 which then resonates between water as reaches equalibram in the form of Al6(H2O) or something close to that with Na existing close to it in solution being an electrolyte.

Far from basic chemistry without a pun

keweeellll

dont know why your description says acid.... NaOH is a base fool

[Silverblood9]

@vevenaneathna its BASIC CHEMISTRY!

@vevenaneathna i dont think 'fool' is such an insult these days...
