Aluminum reacts with bases, evolving flammable H2 gas (Mellor, J.W. 1967. Mellor's Modern Inorganic Chemistry, 6th Edition. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. pp. 745).
Zinc reacts with hot, concentrated base, evolving flammable H2 gas (Mellor, J.W. 1967. Mellor's Modern Inorganic Chemistry, 6th Edition. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. pp. 717).
The reaction of NaOH and Zn is exothermic and could cause a fire (Association of British Chemical Manufacturers. 1963. Quarterly Safety Summary 34:14).
Calcium may react explosively with alkali-metal hydroxides (The Merck Index, 1983, Rahway (NJ), Merck and Co. Inc., 10th ed., p. 227).
Potential Gas Byproducts
