A six yard roll of aluminum:
1 yard = 3 feet
1 foot = 12 inches
THus:
6 yards = 6 * (3 feet) = 18 feet = 18 * (12 inches) = 216 inches
Your question is meaningless - a diameter of 1.75 inches is 1.75 inches in length.
6 inches.
120 inches (by finding the hypotenuse of a right triangle).
40
It is: 3 to 2.
Aluminum foil is made of the metal aluminum, pressed into a long, thin sheet.
yes, as long as it was cold before wrapped. It will also keep food warm to as long as it was heated before being wrapped as well. Just be sure to not put aluminum foil in the microwave!
No. Aluminum will degrade faster than most metals, especially if it is left in salt water, such as at the bottom of the ocean. This is true. Aluminum foil is not biodegradable. your welcome, : )
The rate at which water freezes depends on the thermal conductivity of the container. Plastic is generally not very thermally conductive, whereas aluminum foil is more thermally conductive. Thus, as long as the foil is not very much thinner than the plastic, the water will freeze faster in the foil.
25 feet = 7.62 meters
Aluminum foil does not biodegrade. Biodegradation only happens when microorganisms (microbes, fungi etc.) use a material as food. Aluminum foil can chemically degrade if exposed to acids or alkalis in soil or groundwater. It can be converted to aluminum oxide in a fire. It can be shredded into very small particles by abrasion, the smaller particles are more apt to be oxidized or dissolved. If not exposed to this physical degradation aluminum will last for thousands of years
Yes but it's no the greatest conductor for long distances
If you are talking about aluminum foil, it takes a very long time. Aluminum is already in its elemental form, so there is no 'compound' to break down. Aluminum does not rust or corrode under normal exposure to the environment. The small amount that oxides on on its surface act as an inhibitor to further oxidation. So, an aluminum foil that is buried in a dump would last longer than our lifetimes.
Aluminum foil is made by passing aluminum through a rolling mill. Manufacturers start with a large block several inches thick and several feet wide and long. This block is passed through a rolling mill and is repeatedly hot rolled until it is thin enough for the aluminum to be rolled. The roll is then passed along to another rolling mill and is cold rolled repeatedly until the desired thickness of foil is achieved. In the cold rolling process, two rolls of aluminum are rolled simultaneously to avoid any tearing that might result if a single thickness of aluminum was passed through the rollers. (That's why the foil we see has a "shiny" side and a "dull" side.) Following all this rolling, the aluminum is trimmed and cut to size, and then comes out in the form of the foil we know. Use the link below to see a short video of the process. It's worth the look.
It is done all the time! You do want to avoid too high a heat, it will cause the aluminum foil to break down. And acidic foods are not good to cook in aluminum of any sort such as foil or pots and pans.
Cotton and aluminum foil, as long as it isn't going around a heat source.
Sure. In fact, the local beauty supply chain in my community carries the standard "sandwich size" foil wrapping sheets in the "pop-up" box - the same as you find in your local supermarket. And one of the salons I know purchase their foil from a bulk food service distributor and buy HUGE rolls of aluminum foil and an industrial cutter/dispenser. The key is to cut the foil into strips/sheets of manageable size for the purpose to which you intend to put them. This is generally four to five inches (10-13 cm) wide and eight to twelve inches (20-30 cm) long.
