Speeding up Al+MnCl2 reaction
So, I currently have two strips of aluminum foil sitting in a solution of manganese(II)-chloride and I was wondering if there was any way to speed up
the reaction? (I do know that aluminum always has a layer of aluminum oxide, but I do see it progressing in the reaction. It's just very slow.)
