What else can I help you with?
What is a very cool fact about aluminum?
Aluminum foil starts out as a big roll of aluminum and then is made thinner and thinner.
Is aluminum man-made?
No, aluminum is not man-made. In fact, it is a natural and earth found metal. Aluminum is found in the earth's crust.
What is an fact on aluminum foil?
it can go from the freezer to the oven to the freezer.
Does alumminium create electricity?
Yes, aluminum can definitely create electricity. When this occurs, it is called an aluminum battery. In fact, many poor villages have their power made by aluminum.
How does chlorine affect aluminum?
Chlorine can react with aluminum to form aluminum chloride, which can corrode the aluminum surface. This can lead to degradation and weakening of the aluminum material over time. It is important to avoid exposing aluminum to chlorine to prevent this kind of corrosion.
What nature is aluminum found?
Aluminum is most naturally found - in huge quantities - in an ore called "bauxite", which is very common in the earth's crust. There is not - and is not projected to be - any shortage of aluminum in the forseeable future. Assisting this is the fact that aluminum is widely recycled.
Where can you find scientific proof as to whether aluminum foil is - or is not - made of bull's intestines?
Well i can tell you for a fact that aluminum foil is NOT made of bull's intestines. it is in fact made of aluminum. Aluminum ore in mined out of the ground and melted down into aluminum slabs that can weigh more than 5 tons. then the slabs are run multiple time through a set of rollers that bit by bit squish it down into the thickness of aluminum foil. it is then rolled up and packaged. but for a website i would see the related link for more info.
Does the symbol Al correspond to the name of the element?
Well, Al is aluminum so I would guess that the fact that Al are the first 2 letters of aluminum suggests they do correspond.
Why do people recycle aluminum instead of mining for more?
Aluminum is the only material that's endlessly recyclable, and It takes energy to make aluminum from scratch. In fact, it takes 95% more energy to make aluminum from bauxite ore than to recycle old aluminum into new. The energy you save by recycling a single aluminum can will run a TV for three hours.
Will aluminum foil make things melt faster?
No, aluminum foil does not make things melt faster. In fact, aluminum foil can act as an insulator, which can help slow down the melting process by reducing heat transfer.
Does aluminum oxide rust?
Yes. In fact, aluminum oxidizes faster than almost any other metal, which is why aluminum foil will, actually, remove rust: The abrasion removes the coating of aluminum oxide that covers all metallic aluminum exposed to the air, and the exposed aluminum metal wants to be oxidized so badly that it will actually steal oxygen from iron oxide, AKA rust, and reduce it back to iron metal. Which is why aluminum foil will, in fact, remove rust. This reaction, interestingly, is the same one that makes thermite work.
Is a drink can biodegradable?
Old style steel ("tin") cans were, but modern aluminum cans, no. Steel eventually rusts away, but the oxides of aluminum are more durable than aluminum itself (in fact, they're used as abrasives, to wear away other stuff). On the other hand, recycling aluminum can is twenty times as efficient as extracting aluminum from bauxite ore.
