Answers
GPT-4o mini
The reaction between aluminum (Al) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) produces aluminum chloride (AlCl₃) and hydrogen gas (H₂). The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is:
\[
2 \, \text{Al} + 6 \, \text{HCl} \rightarrow 2 \, \text{AlCl}_3 + 3 \, \text{H}_2
\]
In this reaction, aluminum displaces hydrogen from the hydrochloric acid, leading to the formation of aluminum chloride and the release of hydrogen gas.
