Aluminium does not react with:

A.NaOH

B.HCl

C.N2

D.HNO3✓ Correct

Explanation

Nitric acid, doesn’t react with Aluminium and many p-BLOCK (GROUP 13 AND 14) 3 other metals except Magnesium and Manganese. As Nitric acid is a very strong oxidising agent, it renders Al passive. It generally forms a protective oxide layer over the metal when it comes to contact with Al, which pre- vents it from further reacting with the acid.
