Is hemoglobin organic or inorganic?
Yes, foil is made from a single huge block of aluminum. The block is rolled between massive industrial rollers over and over again. The aluminum gets thinner and longer with each pass through the rollers until it is as thin as foil. For the very last 'roll' the foil is too thin to go through alone, so they put two sheets together, it is because of this 'double' final roll that the foil gets a shiny side and a dull side.There are a number of posts on the web of short video clips a couple of minutes long showing the making of aluminum foil. YouTube and other sites have them. Use the link below to related questions.Aluminium foil is made of the metal - aluminium., with a thickness of less than 0.2mm
Aluminum melts at what degrees?
The melting point for aluminum foil is 660 C or 1220 F (The melting point of the foil, which is about 97% aluminum) is the same as that of aluminum. if it's made of aluminum it melts at 660oC regardless of size or shape, but the aluminum oxide anodizing will melt at about 2000oC See the link below.
Why does aluminium foil not burn?
Aluminum foil is composed of aluminum and aluminum alloys. For the simplest model, it can be considered a pure sheet of aluminum with a thin layer of aluminum oxide. The aluminum oxide layer is what gives aluminum foil its protective properties, and it forms spontaneously on contact with the oxygen in the air -- if you scrape it off, the layer will re-form immediately, much like the layer of chromium oxide in stainless steel. In the case of aluminum alloys, the layer has to be generated through other means, such as anodizing.Burning (combustion) is an exothermic chemical reaction, typically a form of oxidation. In general, this just means that the oxygen from the surrounding air combines with the burning material (the fuel), causing the molecules that make up the fuel to break apart and release energy. Other highly-exothermic reactions may be referred to as "burning", such as thermal decomposition or reduction-oxidation (redox) reactions. For example, thermite is typically a mixture of iron (III) oxide and aluminum metal. When ignited, it appears to burn at a very high temperature; however, the actual reaction is a redox reaction that does not require the intervention of the oxygen in the air.Because the outer layer of aluminum foil is already composed of aluminum oxide, there is little to oxidize. Aluminum oxide is stable far beyond normal cooking temperatures (it doesn't melt until over 2000C), making rapid thermal decomposition essentially impossible. The bulk of the material is aluminum or other metals, meaning it has nothing into which to decompose -- it is already the smallest unit normally achievable. Finally, because of the unreactive outer layer of aluminum oxide, other highly-exothermic reactions are difficult to achieve, especially at normal cooking temperatures. When aluminum metal is used in reactions, such as in thermite, the typical method is to reach its melting point. If you manage to reach over 660C (1220F) in your kitchen, the aluminum is probably the least of your worries.
What elements are compact discs made of?
compact discs are made of polycarbonate plastic followed by a thin layer of aluminum coating over the polycarbonate plastic then finished with a clear protective acrylic coating over the aluminum layer some companies use silver or gold instead of the aluminum layer
What is the over all charge of aluminum fluoride?
Ovreall charge is neutral or no charge
How can you use aluminum in a sentence?
I use aluminum foil when i need to cover up left over food.
What is the metal cover that goes over a plate of food called?
Aluminum foil
How do you build a model of the statue of liberty for school?
Aluminum foil over plasticine.
Is aluminum foil a solid solution?
Aluminum foil is not a solid. It is not a solid because it CAN bend. like for example: water isn't a solid because it can bend, move, what ever you wanna say... so aluminum foil goes OVER things and fits on it's edges so like on a plate or some thing like that. A computer and a computer screen are both solids because they are hard and can't move unless you'd take it apart or break it. Although a wire can move and shift shape. it is still a solid. Because it it thick enough to be consider a solid. Thanks for taking time to read or listen to my answer.
How does a tin foil raft float?
A tin foil raft, which is just a flat piece of tin foil (which we know is really aluminum foil), floats by means of the surface tension of the water that supports it. We all know that aluminum is more dense than water. A block or other chunk of aluminum would sink in water. But because the aluminum foil is thin, its mass is "spread out" over a wide area, and this causes a broad interaction with the surface tension characteristic of water. Use the links below to check facts and learn more.
What would cause aluminum foil to disintegrate in a convection oven?
Aluminium foil disintegrates in a convection oven because the heat rays of the oven hits the aluminium foil but gets reflected by the foil. Thus, the oven over heats and the aluminium foil disintegrates.
Is there chromium in foil?
Not in aluminum foil. Aluminum foil is all aluminum. Large pieces of refined aluminum (blocks weighing over a thousand pounds) are rolled and rolled until a sheet of foil a fraction of an inch thick results. Some 50 miles of foil are rolled onto a spool at the end of the line. And two sheets are rolled out at the same time, one pressed to the other. That's why aluminum foil has a shiny side and a dull side. The dull sides are the "inside" where the two sheets are pressed together in the manufacturing process. If you have a chance to see the process, go look. If you want a virtual tour, use the link and watch the video on how foil is made. It's really cool!
Should you recycle aluminum foil paper and plastic?

Does tin foil attract heat?
Tin foil is generally made of aluminum and can attract/transfer heat. Aluminium is widely used as cooling in computer systems, which spreads the heat all over the heatsink so the air can cool the aluminum down.

How do you build a cargo ship out of aluminum foil that is sturdy?
you use a strong material like wood and then put the tin foil over it, so it is waterproof because if you did not put a waterproof material on it would absorb the water and sink.
What does it mean to line a baking sheet with aluminum foil?
You lay the foil over the baking sheet. You do this to protect your sheet and to make whatever you are baking easier to remove. If you have a non-stick coated sheet it may not be needed.
