Aluminium is so expensive as it needs a lot of power and electricity to produce. With the demand of the product a whole power station is needed. This cost a lot of money and they have to charge the buyer more to pay for the production process.
The iron chunk will be denser and heavier than the aluminum chunk due to the higher density of iron compared to aluminum. Iron is also more susceptible to corrosion compared to aluminum.
every metal is priced based on scarcity, and ease of access. there's a lot more iron than aluminum in the ground... and aluminum's properties and usage for current products make it more expensive. it also cools very quickly, while still being lightweight and durable... making it very useful.
Yes, there is more aluminum in the Earth's core than in the crust. Aluminum is not a major component of the Earth's core, which is primarily composed of iron and nickel. In contrast, the Earth's crust contains more aluminum as a common element in minerals like feldspar and clay.
An aluminum spoon would become hotter because aluminum is a better conductor of heat than iron. This means that the heat from the food being served would transfer more quickly through the aluminum spoon, making it feel hotter to the touch compared to an iron spoon.
Believe it or not, aluminum is technically more reactive than iron. However, when aluminum is exposed to air, it almost instantly forms a microscopic layer of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) which protects the rest of the aluminum from any further reaction. Iron doesn't do this, and therefore corrodes unevenly, making it unsuitable for certain applications.
aluminum is more durable than iron.
Aluminum is more reactive than iron, meaning it can displace iron in a chemical reaction. In practical terms, this means aluminum will react with certain substances that iron will not.
Yes, aluminum is approximately 2.7 times more dense than water
The iron chunk will be denser and heavier than the aluminum chunk due to the higher density of iron compared to aluminum. Iron is also more susceptible to corrosion compared to aluminum.
Aluminum conducts heat faster than iron. This is because aluminum has a higher thermal conductivity value compared to iron, meaning it can transfer heat more efficiently.
Both iron and aluminum will oxidize. When iron oxidizes the product (rust) easily crumbles away, exposing more iron to oxidation. Aluminum is even more reactive than iron, but the aluminum oxide that forms is one of the hardest known substances and forms a protective layer that, even though it is microscopic, shields the aluminum from corrosion.
not always but I guess it could be heavier than iron if their was a lot more of it.
Aluminum is more reactive than iron. Aluminum reacts with oxygen to form a protective oxide layer that prevents further oxidation, while iron reacts with oxygen to form iron oxide (rust) more easily. This difference in reactivity is why aluminum is often used in applications where corrosion resistance is important.
IRON STRONGER.....ALUMINUM LIGHTER.....IRON IS HEAVY.....ALUMINUM WILL BREAK EASIER THAN IRON
Yes, it is.
Iron would not react with aluminum nitrate because iron is less reactive than aluminum and would not displace aluminum from its compound.
