Which outcome occurs when aluminum reacts with concentrated hydrochloric acid?

💡 Explanation

Aluminum reacts with hydrochloric acid through a single displacement because *ionic bonding* promotes electron transfer, resulting in hydrogen gas and aluminum chloride salt. Therefore corrosion releases hydrogen gas rather than passivation, because oxygen gas is absent for complex oxides.
