I was not expecting there to be a reaction between aluminum metal and a solution of iron chloride. I thought the aluminum would be oxidized and the iron reduced. What is the reaction that is occurring that is creating hydrogen gas on the surface of the aluminum? I know it has to do with aluminum reacting with the hydronium ions in solution but I can't come up with a balanced equation because i don't know what happens to the oxygen from the water. Thanks.
