Trouble with aluminum is that it will oxidize quickly in normal atmosphere, so it won't really stay oxide free very long. But as far as removing the oxide there are several options:

- fine sand-paper

- stainless steel wire brush.

- Brillo pads

- Media(sand) blastin

Ther might be some etching solution that's powerful enough, but I've never tried that.

What is name of the compound Al2O3?

Al is the symbol for Aluminum and O is the symbol for oxygen. When oxygen is paired in a compound, it is changed to oxide. The name then is aluminum oxide.


Is aluminum oxide magnetic?

No, aluminum oxide is not magnetic.


What is the chemical formula for Al203?

Al2O3 is the chemical formula of aluminium oxide.


What do you get when you mix aluminum and oxygen and iron?

When you mix aluminum and oxygen, you get aluminum oxide. If you mix iron with aluminum oxide, the aluminum will react with the iron oxide, forming a thermite reaction that produces molten iron and aluminum oxide slag.


Is aluminum oxide a cation or an anion and what is the symbol?

Al2O3 - aluminum oxide (dialuminium trioxide); this oxide is not a cation or anion but a chemical molecular substance.


What is the chemical formula for aluminum oxide when heated?

Aluminum oxide is Al2O3 and when heated it is still Al2O3, so heating aluminum oxide does nothing to it.


Does aluminum plus iodine forms aluminum oxide?

Aluminum and oxygen form aluminum oxide. Aluminum and iodine form aluminum iodide.


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 do you get when you mix aluminum oxide and iron oxide?

It will form a mixture of the two compounds.

Compound name for Al2O3?

This is an ionic compound with the name aluminum oxide.


Is aluminum oxide a mixture?

No, aluminum oxide is a compound composed of aluminum and oxygen atoms bonded together in a fixed ratio. It is a chemical compound, not a mixture.
