Aluminium will corrode easily with salt water or water in the atmosphere. There are many ways to stop it corroding, one of which is painting it. Paint will provide some corrosion resistance but will not help a lot if it is going to be going through a lot of wear and tear, as the paint will be scraped off and leave no protection. Another method is to just let the aluminum be in contact with air and it will almost instantly form a very thin layer of Al2O3 which then allows very little corrosion to occur, and if the Al2O3 is somehow removed it will almost instantly reform to provide resistance again.

Why would a chemical reaction stop?
Reactions stop because after time there are less reactants so the chemical reaction starts to slow down. As there are less and less reactants the chemical reaction gets slower and slower until it stops.
What is a substance that slows down or stops a chemical reaction?
an inhibitor
What stops beta particles from traveling?
Aluminium
How long does chlorine stop your period?
It stops for 6you hours if not longer blood does not get on your suit the chlorine have chemical in it causing the blood to disappear
Scientific definition of addiction?
Addiction occurs when a chemical substance that is not natural to the human body attaches itself to a molecule in place of a naturally occurring substance in the human body and in turn slows down or stops production of the proper chemical. When the unnatural chemical is withdrawn the body takes time to produce the natural substance which causes symptoms of withdrawal in the addicted person.
What is is the chemical coating which stops aliminum form corroding?
Aluminium has a natural coating of Aluminium oxide that prevents it from oxidizing (corroding). This layer forms as soon as the Aluminium is made and is impervious to oxygen and water and prevents further oxididation. Some acids and bases can dissolve this layer and then the Aluminum will corrode.
Is aluminium an element or compound?
aluminum itself is an element, but most products made of aluminum are actually an aluminum alloy.both aluminum and aluminum alloys have a thin glassy (sometimes colored) coating of aluminum oxides, which protects the actual metal surface. This coating is a compound or mixture of compounds and elements.Now wasn't that complicated?
Why are food particle preferably packed in aluminium foil?
Aluminium foil donot corrode in atmosphere even if kept for a long time.Actually,aprotective coating of aluminium oxide is formed on the surface of the foil.it stops any further reaction of the metal with air and water.The eatables do not get spoiled.
What is the reason for coating steel components with a special compound when they contact with an aluminum frame?
To stop electrolytic action causing corrosion. Dissimilar metals (especially steel and aluminium) form a battery when wetted with water. This battery will cause a small current flow in the metals which will then eat away at the aluminium. Coating one or the other components, provides an insulator, which stops the battery forming.
Why aluminum does not react with cold water?
it goes slightly alkaline, and Produces Aluminium Hydroxide
What stops a tin can from corroding?
They are coated with Linear Low Density Polyethylene Liners which keeps the acids from making contact with the metal.
How effective is seal coating pavement against winter weathers?
Seal coating has been recorded to have saved owners up to $100,000 in repair costs over the life-time of their pavement. It works by creating a waterproof coating that stops water from penetrating the surface. This stops faults forming where cracks are expanded by freezing water.
Why do reindeers eat moss?
it contains a chemical that stops their body from freezing
How do you know when a chemical reaction has ended?
1)stops changing color 2)stops prducing heat 3)stops bubbling
Why would a chemical reaction stop?
Reactions stop because after time there are less reactants so the chemical reaction starts to slow down. As there are less and less reactants the chemical reaction gets slower and slower until it stops.
Why aluminium does not corrode even thought it is very reactive metal?
It forms a very strong oxide layer that protects it and stops further reactions.
What is a substance that slows down or stops a chemical reaction?
an inhibitor
