Assuming the service voltage is 240 volts. A 2/0 aluminum conductor, with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C, will limit the voltage drop to 2% or less when supplying 125 amps for 100 feet on a 240 volt system.
This is a voltage drop question. To receive an answer to this question the voltage of the service must be stated.
Yes, as long as it has the necessary ampacity for the load and is properly fastened at each terminal. For example, we have a 4/0 aluminum cable feeding our 200 A subpanel 120 feet away.
2/0 (2 ought) Copper or 4/0 Aluminum.

A #6 aluminum conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 40 amps for 110 feet on a 240 volt system.

I would use AWG #4 for that run in alluminum. You will have a 3.8% voltage drop which is acceptible.

A 1/0 aluminum conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 30 amps for 500 feet on a 240 volt system.
you would use #2 aluminum urd wire for a 100 amp service
