Compare the reactivity of sodium metal and aluminium metal with Water and dilute HCL |
|
Answer» Answer: as we know sodium is highly reactive metal when kept in open air....it can readily react with air and can also burn ....also it is a very soft metal so can be cut easily with a knife .... On the other hand Aluminium metal is not much reactive and soft .... chemical reaction :- When an acid REACTS with metal, a salt and hydrogen are produced: acid + metal → salt + hydrogen The salt that is produced depends upon which acid and which metal react. Sodium metal reacts with hydrochloric acid which PRODUCES hydrogen gas and sodium CHLORIDE. 2Na(s)+2HCl(aq)→2NaCl(aq)+H2(g) The REACTANTS are sodium metal and hydrochloric acid. The product are hydrogen gas and sodium chloride solution. |
