ALUMINUM

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Silvery-white with a bluish tint color
Solid phase
Hardness: The pure metal is soft, but it becomes
strong and hard when alloyed
Ductile- can be beaten into extremely thin
sheets
Malleable- capable of being shaped or bent
Good electrical and heat conductors
Resists corrosion by the formation of a selfprotecting oxide coating
Melting point 933.47 K (660.32 C, 1220.58 F)
Boiling point 2743 K (2470 C, 4478 F)

CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
Chemical Formula: Al
Occurs only as a compound, principally in
bauxite
Oxidation: In moist air, it combines slowly with
oxygen to form aluminum oxide
Reacts with many hot acids
Reacts quickly with hot water
It reacts with Alkalis such as Sodium hydroxide
and limewater
Compounds: A mixture of aluminum, oxygen and
other elements produces Bauxite
Bauxite is an aluminium ore and is the main
source of aluminium
Alloys: When combined with elements such as
copper, silicon, or magnesium it forms alloys of
great strength

CHLORINE
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Greenish-yellow color
Gas phase
Odor: Disagreeable, suffocating smell
Not malleable
Not Ductile
About two and one-half times as dense as air
Is soluble in water. Its aqueous solution is called
Chlorine water which consists of a mixture of
Chlorine, Hydrochloric acid, and Hypochlorous
acid.
Melting point 171.6 K (101.5 C,
150.7 F)
Boiling point 239.11 K (34.04 C, 29.27 F)

CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
Chemical Formula: Cl
Highly corrosive
Highly Toxic
Compounds: PVC, hydrochloric acid and
Sodium chloride (table salt)
Most metals react with dry chlorine only upon
heating
Alkali metals react with chlorine by combustion
when tiny amounts of moisture are present
Oxidation: It forms the oxides Cl2O, ClO2,
O2O6, Cl2O7, and Cl2O8, as well as
hypochlorites (salts of hypochlorous acid),
chlorites and chlorates
Combustion: Explosive. Specific mixtures of
chlorine and hydrogen can be explosive
