Aluminium foil would cool the soda faster. However it would depend on what you are comparing with, the material surrounding the soda at the start. It would also depend on the surrounding temperature. Heat would move from regions of higher temperature to regions of lower temperature, hence the colder the surroundings the faster the rate of heat transfer. Most metals are good conductors of heat as they have a mobile sea of delocalised electrons which can allow heat to be conducted away from the soda. However, on the other hand you would have to consider the heat capacity of the aluminium as well. The aluminium would carry heat by itself already and hence might affect the final temperature of the soda if it is kept in a small area without anything to remove the heat. However the amount of heat possessed by the aluminium foil can also be considered negligible if a small mass is used as the specific heat capacity of aluminium is only 910J/kgK. The surface are of the aluminium foil and how it is in contact with the soda also plays a important factor, as a larger surface area to volume ratio would facilitate better rate of heat transfer. Please correct this if this is wrong.

Would it be better to cool a soda faster in the freezer or fridge?
The Freezer.
Is aluminum foil a better insulator alone or with bubble wrap?
Aluminum foil is a conductor. It really only insulates against radiative heat transfer by reflecting visible light rays or infrared heat rays. When wrapped around an object, pockets of air can act as insulation, but in this case it's the air that's doing the insulating-- not the foil. To answer the question, "it depends." Let's say you have a baked potato that you want to keep warm. First wrap in in foil so that the radiation coming off the potato is reflected back into the potato. Then wrap the potato in bubble wrap with the bubbles facing inward. This will trap any hot air that might surround the potato, preventing conductive and convective heat transfer. On the other hand, if you have a cold can of soda, and it's out in the sunlight, you'll want to first wrap the can in bubblewrap (bubbles facing the can) to trap the cool air and wrap foil around that to reflect any light rays. If the can is in a dark space, such as a lunch box or cooler, the aluminum foil will play a very small role in insulating it. The bubble wrap should go around the can (bubbles facing inward). The aluminum foil won't hurt as long as the foil does not touch the can. If it touches the can, it will conduct heat from the surroundings into the cold can.

How many inches tall is a soda can?
Your standard aluminum soda can is 4-13/16 inches.
What do we use the metal aluminium for?
Aluminum is use in making building and construction, corrosion-resistant chemical equipment, auto and aircraft parts, power transmission lines, photoengraving plates, cookware and other consumer goods, and tubes for ointments and pastes.
What are some common uses of aluminum?
soda cans, foil, planes, etc.
Does a pop can stay cooler longer when aluminum foil is wrapped around it?
Aluminum foil does not keep a soda pop cooler for longer periods of time since aluminum is not an insulator. Foam can wrappers do insulate and keep soda cooler for longer periods of time.
What time of cleaning material would one use to clean silver?
You can clean silverware at your house using only aluminum foil and baking soda. You do this by boiling water, baking soda, and aluminum foil in a saucepan and than placing your silverware in for about 10 seconds.
Can you use bicarb soda to clean jewelry?
Tarnished silver jewellery can be cleaned by wrapping it in aluminum foil, then placing it in a bicarbonate of soda solution.

What does Georgia export?

What cleans sterling silver?
1.Boil water 2.put jewelry in aluminum pan or glass pan lined in aluminum foil. 3.Pour in baking soda. 4.Pour boiling water over jewelry. 5.The silver has to be touching the aluminum. The parts that aren't, take a piece of aluminum foil and touch it to the silver right after it has been put in the water. If it's really badly tarnished, you may have to do it a second or third time. It's a reaction between the aluminum and baking soda with the boiling water.
How do you clean silver or brass articles that have got tarnished?
Toothpaste works well.AnswerLemon juice. AnswerPlace some aluminum foil into a small tub of warm water mixed with baking soda. Immerse the silver into the water touching the aluminum foil, the tarnish will be transferred to the aluminum foil through some electrolytic process. Like magic.
What are the elements of soda?
aluminum is in a soda can
