no it is not a type for drills it would just turn to powder when you drill.

What is nature of the oxide formed by aluminum?
Aluminium forms the oxide Al2O3, often called alumina or corundum. It is a hard substance. Chemically it is classed as amphoteric because it reacts with acids and bases. It forms on the surface of aluminium very rapidly and passivates the surface. Aluminium is actually a reactive metal but because ot the invisible, thin oxide layer appears quite inert; without the layer aluminium would react with water to generate hydrogen.
What would you expect to have a higher melting point sodium chloride or aluminum oxide?
Aluminium oxide, because it has a very strong giant covalent structure that takes a lot of energy to break.
Does Aluminium react with water?
Eventually, it will. But Aluminium has a great propensity to form a protective film of oxide, and this film is essentially inert. So aluminum may be used for boating or float planes, for example quite safely.
What would you see if reactive aluminum was dropped into sulfuric acid?
As aluminium is a reactive metal, it will oxidise in air to form a hard coating of aluminium oxide which surrounds the metal. To observe the reaction of sulphuric acid and aluminium, this coating must first be specially removed. Effervescence will be observed, and hydrogen gas will be produced. aluminium + sulphuric acid (reacts to form) aluminium sulphate + hydrogen gas
What is the name for Al2O3?
Aluminium + Oxygen ----> Aluminium oxideBalanced equation:4 Al + 3 O2 ----> 2 Al2O3
How much aluminium would be required to make 34.5g of aluminium oxide by reacting it with oxygen?
9.13g Al will give 34.5g Al2O3 when fully oxidized
Aluminum oxide in my hardwood floors would this be a problem with someone with allergies?
Aluminium oxide (Al2O3) is not considered a dangerous material but read the MSDS on link below.

Mole ratio between silver and copper?
The formula of aluminium oxide is Al2O3. So the molecular weight will be 27*2 plus 16*3. That is 102. The molecular weight of aluminum is 27. So the ratio aluminium oxide to aluminium will be 102 to 27. That is 3.38 to 1.
What would you expect to have a higher melting point sodium chloride or aluminum oxide?
Aluminium oxide, because it has a very strong giant covalent structure that takes a lot of energy to break.
Which would you expect to have a higher melting point sodium chloride NaCI or aluminum oxide AI203?
The melting point of sodium chloride is 801 0C. The melting point of aluminium oxide is 2 072 0C.
What is the name of compound that has twelve aluminum atom and three oxygen atom?
Nonexistite. Such a compound would not be stable, unless there are additional atoms you're not telling us about. Aluminium (III) oxide, aka aluminum oxide, alumina, or corundum, would be Al2O3.
What would cause aluminum to red rust?
Although Aluminium is less reactive in the reactivity series it forms oxides (Aluminium oxide)when it reacts with oxygen (air) to form white rust.However impurities in Aluminum also cause white rust.
What impact would acid rain have on the great lakes?
Learnt them when i was small. Acid rain lowers the Ph of the water thus, affecting the aquatic life in it. Sometimes, in Acid rains, aluminium oxide gets mixed with it. As it reaches the fish's gills, a strong acid mixed with aluminium oxide goes in and blocks the fish's gills from any oxygenated water to pass in then out.
Does Aluminium react with water?
Eventually, it will. But Aluminium has a great propensity to form a protective film of oxide, and this film is essentially inert. So aluminum may be used for boating or float planes, for example quite safely.
Why would a can be made from aluminum?
Because the metal is plentiful, light, ductile and corrosion resistant (the surface is covered by a stable, tough oxide that protects the metal underneath). The only drawback is that aluminium takes a lot of energy to smelt. Aluminium is 99% reusable since it is resistant to oxidisation.
