Some Commercial Drain Cleaners Contain Aluminum Chips and Sodium Hydroxide

Some commercial drain cleaners contain aluminum chips and sodium hydroxide pellets.When water is added to this mixture a vigorous reaction takes place which is best represented as

A) 2 Al(s) + 6 H⁺(aq) → 2 Al³⁺(aq) + 3 H₂(g) .
B) 2 Al(s) + 2 OH^-(aq) + 6 H₂O(l) → 2 Al(OH) ₄^-(aq) + 3 H₂(g) .
C) 2 Al(s) + 6 H₂O(l) → 2 Al(OH) ₃ + 3 H₂(g) .
D) 2 Al(s) + 3 Cu²⁺(aq) → 2 Al³⁺(aq) + 2 Cu(s) .
