Aluminum foil does not rust; it corrodes. Vinegar is acidic and can accelerate the corrosion process of aluminum foil compared to water. The acid in vinegar increases the rate of oxidation, which leads to the formation of aluminum oxide on the foil's surface.

Does aluminum oxide rust?

Yes. In fact, aluminum oxidizes faster than almost any other metal, which is why aluminum foil will, actually, remove rust: The abrasion removes the coating of aluminum oxide that covers all metallic aluminum exposed to the air, and the exposed aluminum metal wants to be oxidized so badly that it will actually steal oxygen from iron oxide, AKA rust, and reduce it back to iron metal. Which is why aluminum foil will, in fact, remove rust. This reaction, interestingly, is the same one that makes thermite work.


What happens to aluminum foil in salt water?

When aluminum foil is placed in salt water, it undergoes a chemical reaction called galvanic corrosion. The saltwater acts as an electrolyte, causing the aluminum foil to break down and release aluminum ions into the water. This process leads to the gradual deterioration and disintegration of the foil over time.
