Well, honey, aluminium oxide is hard as nails, making it great for drill heads because it can handle some serious drilling without wearing down too quickly. Plus, it's got good heat resistance, so it won't go crying to mama when things start heating up. In a nutshell, if you want a drill head that's tough as nails and can take the heat, aluminium oxide is your ride-or-die material.

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.


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.


Is aluminium extracted by heating their oxides with carbon?

No, it cannot be extracted this way as aluminium is a much stronger reducing agent than carbon and has greater affinity to oxygen. It is rather extracted by the process of electrolysis by passing electricity through molten aluminum ore which is bauxite mixed with cryolite.


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.


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 is the name for Al2O3?

Aluminium + Oxygen ----> Aluminium oxideBalanced equation:4 Al + 3 O2 ----> 2 Al2O3


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.


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.


What would you expect to have a higher melting point sodium chloride or aluminum oxide?

Aluminum oxide would have a higher melting point than sodium chloride. This is because aluminum oxide has stronger bonds between its ions, resulting in a higher energy requirement to break these bonds compared to the weaker bonds in sodium chloride.


What would the world be like without aluminium?
