Do cans decay?
Decay may not be quite the right word. Metal cans do... eventually... corrode and break down. The length of time required depends on the metal the can is made of; steel cans can corrode fairly quickly while it takes longer for aluminum ones.
What cleans sterling silver?
1.Boil water 2.put jewelry in aluminum pan or glass pan lined in aluminum foil. 3.Pour in baking soda. 4.Pour boiling water over jewelry. 5.The silver has to be touching the aluminum. The parts that aren't, take a piece of aluminum foil and touch it to the silver right after it has been put in the water. If it's really badly tarnished, you may have to do it a second or third time. It's a reaction between the aluminum and baking soda with the boiling water.
Does aluminum decompose?
along time
Is Zn H2So4 Zn So4 H2 a decomposition reaction?
If you mean Zn + H2SO4 --> ZnSO4 + H2, then no, it is not a decomposition reaction. In decomposition reactions one reactant is broken down into two or more simpler substances. For example, the electrolysis of water, 2H2O --> 2H2 + O2 is a decomposition reaction. The reaction referred to in your question is a double replacement (displacement) reaction. I apologize that the subscripts are not working at this time.

What are facts of aluminium?
Aluminium is very important metal. It is used mostly in making utensils. Aluminum is commonly used in production of soda cans. From the periodic table, turns out that Aluminum is the only metal that will effectively form a passivation layer Al2O3 which is found in soda cans to prevent soda from being leaking through the aluminum over time.
How long does it take for a beverage can to decompose?
Basically they don't. A clarification of terms. Decompose is usually reserved for organic materals being educed by microorganisms. A drink can is made of metal so t is not attacked by microorganisms. A drink can is however attacked by water and oxygen from the air. The effect is the same as decomposition. Steel cans rust and corrode away over a fairly short period if exposed to air and water, especially if they have the protective coat is scratched or damaged. Aluminum cans are much more refractory and can last for hundreds of years. This is caused by the "rust" or oxide coat on aluminum being mpervius to air and water, Iron rust is porous so the air and water can reach fresh metal.
Does a pop can stay cooler longer when aluminum foil is wrapped around it?
Aluminum foil does not keep a soda pop cooler for longer periods of time since aluminum is not an insulator. Foam can wrappers do insulate and keep soda cooler for longer periods of time.
Why a bottle of coke or soda should not be let in the freezer for a long time?

Tips for squirrel hinting?
If it is legal in your state, you could bait the squirrels with sunflower seeds by placing them in cut soda cans. Nail the cut soda cans to the trees and wait for the squirrels to feed. I usually place my bait cans a few days before going hunting. This way the squirrels are conditioned and have time to get use to their environment.
How long does it take to recycle cans?
The time it takes to recycle cans varies depending on the recycling facility and the volume of cans being processed. On average, it can take a few weeks for collected cans to be sorted, crushed, melted down, and turned into new aluminum products.
How can you get money for soda caps?
Collect as many soda cans as you want, then take them down to recycling center. The more cans you have the better. Most recycling centers pay 5 cents per can and pay you by how much all your cans weigh in total. Remember to check what time the recycling center opens, when it closes, and when the best time to come is.
Can aluminum cans change from biomass to compost?
No, aluminum cans do not change from biomass to compost. Compost is dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich organic material. Aluminum is inorganic even though the element can rust and smash into such small pieces that it over a very long time supplements the elements (of which it is not one of the essentials) and minerals in soil.
