Aluminum is a metal in Group 13, and with atomic number 13 on the Periodic Table. Iron is a transition metal in Group 8, and with atomic number 26 on the periodic table.
When you mix aluminum and oxygen, you get aluminum oxide. If you mix iron with aluminum oxide, the aluminum will react with the iron oxide, forming a thermite reaction that produces molten iron and aluminum oxide slag.
IRON STRONGER.....ALUMINUM LIGHTER.....IRON IS HEAVY.....ALUMINUM WILL BREAK EASIER THAN IRON
Shut up....iron is an aluminum foil
Iron does not typically react with aluminum sulfate because iron is less reactive than aluminum. The sulfate ion can form soluble compounds with both iron and aluminum ions, so there may be some precipitation if both iron and aluminum salts are present in the solution.
Iron would not react with aluminum nitrate because iron is less reactive than aluminum and would not displace aluminum from its compound.
Recycling iron and aluminum makes iron and aluminum or you're doing it wrong.
aluminum is more durable than iron.
The balanced equation for aluminum reacting with iron(II) oxide to produce aluminum oxide and iron is: 2Al + FeO -> Al2O3 + 2Fe.
The iron chunk will be denser and heavier than the aluminum chunk due to the higher density of iron compared to aluminum. Iron is also more susceptible to corrosion compared to aluminum.

One way to separate iron filings and aluminum filings is by using a magnet. Since iron is magnetic but aluminum is not, you can use a magnet to attract the iron filings and separate them from the aluminum filings easily. Simply pass the magnet over the mixture, and the iron filings will be attracted to the magnet, allowing you to separate them from the aluminum filings effectively.
Between iron, copper, and aluminum, copper is the best, followed by aluminum, and last by iron. Gold is often plated over other metals because it is even better and resists corrosion.
