1) When aluminum and a dissimilar metal are in contact in the presence of moisture, an electrolytic reaction may occur causing a breakdown of the aluminum. To prevent this reaction, use plastic wrap to cover metal containers (silver, stainless steel, or iron used to store food. 2) If the aluminum foil was not used with a dissimilar metal container, the reaction was probably a chemical one. It is possible for heavy concentrations of salt, vinegar or some other acidic compound, or highly spiced foods to cause the foil to disintegrate. The product of either of these reactions is an aluminum salt. It does not harm the food but you will want to scrape any deposit off the food as it may impart an undesired flavor and color.
Yes, aluminum can react with vinegar (acetic acid) to form aluminum acetate, releasing hydrogen gas in the process. This reaction is typically slow, and a layer of aluminum oxide can form on the surface of the aluminum, slowing down the reaction.
When aluminum and sulfur react, aluminum sulfide is produced.
No, sodium sulfate does not react with aluminum. Sodium sulfate is a neutral salt and does not possess the capability to corrode or react with aluminum metal.
Yes, copper and iron oxide can react with each other. When heated, copper can displace iron from iron oxide in a redox reaction, forming copper oxide and leaving metallic iron behind.
Aluminum does react with fluorine gas (which is the most corrosive substance known to science).
No.Mg is less reactive than aluminum,therefore mg solution will not react with aluminum metal.
Iron would not react with aluminum nitrate because iron is less reactive than aluminum and would not displace aluminum from its compound.
No, aluminum does not react with nitrogen under normal conditions. Aluminum is a relatively unreactive metal and does not form compounds with nitrogen easily.
Silver can be removed from silver chloride by adding a reducing agent, such as metallic zinc or aluminum. When the reducing agent is added to a solution of silver chloride, it will react with the chloride ions to form a soluble compound, leaving behind elemental silver that can be collected through filtration.
Aluminum.
Aluminum will not react with water at normal temperatures. Increase the temperature greatly, and just about any two things will react, though.
Chlorine is the element most likely to react with aluminum, forming aluminum chloride through a chemical reaction.
