A student conducted the following experiment to show that aluminium reacts with
hydroxides to produced hydrogen gas.
MATERIALS USED
- Aluminum foil (small pieces)
- Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution
(dilute)
- Water
- 2 conical flasks
- Safety goggles and gloves
-Lighter or match stick
Experiment Part 1: Reaction of Aluminium and Sodium Hydroxide
CAUTION: Protect yourself from sodium hydroxide, as it is corrosive.
-Mixing: In a conical, add a 20ml of sodium hydroxide solution.
-Adding Aluminum: Tear a piece of aluminum foil into small pieces and add it to the sodium
hydroxide solution.
Observation: You should start to see bubbles forming immediately. This indicates that hydrogen
gas is being produced.
Experiment Part 2: Water and Aluminium foil
In a separate conical flask, just add 20ml of plain water then aluminium foil.
Observation:No bubbles or gas should be produced from just water.
