Aluminium does not react with water at room temperature

Aluminium does not react with water at room temperature but reacts with both dil. HCi and NaOH solutions. Verify these statements experimentally. Write your observations with chemical equations. From these observations, can we conclude that Al is a metalloid ?

  1. Aluminium react with dil. HCI and releases hydrogen gas with formation Aluminium chloride.

  1. Aluminium react with NaOH solution and release hydrogen gas.

  1. Aluminium does not react with water at room temperature. This concludes that the properties of Aluminium in between a metal and non-metal. So it behaves like a metalloid.
