Why is aluminum often unreactive to acid?

Actually, aluminum is very reactive. It is so reactive that it forms thin layers of oxide on its surface at room temperature. This thin film protects the metal underneath from further oxidation. Some aluminum parts are " nitrided" for even better protection. This is very popular with tools and cooking pans.
