A clean aluminum surface reacts very rapidly with oxygen, but the surface is quickly covered with a surface passivating layer containing aluminum and oxygen that prevents further rapid reaction.

What does aluminium react with?
oxygen
What are all the elements that react with aluminium?
Oxygen, chlorine, fluorine.
Do acids react vigorously with many metals?
They do react vigorously.
Can a foil burn?
yes it will because it can burn through the kitchen foil!!!
Why sodium and potassium are stored in kerosene?
because they react very vigorously with oxygen and moisture and sometimes also cause fire
Will aluminium react with sodium bicarbonate?
Aluminium doesn't react with sodium bicarbonate.Aluminium react with sodium hydroxide.
What metal is used in the reaction of metal and air?
Metals in the reactivity series from aluminium to copper react with oxygen in the air to form the metal oxide. Aluminium and Zinc reacts very quickly, Iron reacts slowly at room temperature. Tin, Lead and Copper reacts with Oxygen in air when heated. Silver, Gold and Platinum do not react with Oxygen in air
Does potassium vigorously react with acid and also conducts heat?
Potassium does indeed react vigorously with acid and also conducts heat well.
Does ALuminium react with MgO?
Magnesium results in reaction with metals and oxygen. Therefore it stands to reason it reacts with magnesium oxide
How do acids react with most metals?
Vigorously
Chemical Properties for wood?
Wood burns. So, a chemical property could be that certain chemicals in wood react vigorously with oxygen. Burning is a chemcial change, and reactivity with oxygen is a chemical property.
Is reacting a metal with water the same a reacting it with oxygen?
Not all metals react with water, but some, such as metallic sodium, do react quite vigorously with water. In a sense it is true that when metals react with water it is the same as reacting with oxygen, because the water molecule (H2O) does contain oxygen, and it is the oxygen in the water molecule with which metals react. Metals do not react with the hydrogen content of the water molecule, so when metal reacts with water, hydrogen gas is produced as a byproduct. It just bubbles out of the water.
