put bug spray on the tin foil or some kind of bad chemical on it
Crumpling tin foil is a physical change, not a chemical change. This process alters the shape and texture of the foil but does not change its chemical composition. The material remains aluminum regardless of how it is manipulated, meaning no new substances are formed.
Crumpling tin foil is a physical change. This process alters the shape and structure of the foil without changing its chemical composition. The material remains aluminum regardless of its form, and no new substances are created during crumpling.
No, titanium is not tin. Titanium (chemical symbol Ti) and tin (chemical symbol Sb) are both chemical elements. They are unique. They have different physical and chemical properties, and links are found below that you can follow to investigate the two substances.
The reaction between tin foil and toilet bowl cleaner (which typically contains hydrochloric acid) produces hydrogen gas and a solution of tin chloride. The chemical equation for this reaction is: Sn (tin) + 2 HCl (hydrochloric acid) -> SnCl2 (tin chloride) + H2 (hydrogen gas).
No.
get as much tin foil as you can, sell it as scrap, and buy a small boat of your choosing :)
Kitchen foil despite sometimes being called tin foil is actually made of aluminium. Kitchen foil is simply very thin sheets of aluminium.
Yes, you can bake cookies on tin foil. Just make sure to grease the foil or use a non-stick spray to prevent the cookies from sticking.
