 * Unusual facts: **
 * Aluminum is the third most abundant metal in the Earth’s crust, behind oxygen and silicon.
 * In the 1850’s aluminum was more valuable than gold. Aluminum costed $1200 per kg while gold was only $664 per kg.
 * Cost: ** Pure; $15.72 per 100g
 * Physical Properties: ** Aluminum is light in weight and strong. Also, it is a shiny, silvery white colored metal.
 * Chemical Properties: ** Normally Aluminum does not react with oxygen because the surface is covered in a thin layer of oxide that helps protect it. However, if the layer is damaged then it would be exposed to attack. It will burn in oxygen, giving off a bright white flame.
 * Two Chemical Reactions: **
 * 2Al + 3H2SO4 → Al2(SO4)3 + H2
 * 2Al + 3H2O → 2Al(OH)3

 * Discovery: ** A Danish chemist and physicist Hans Christian Oersted discovered aluminum in 1825 in Denmark. He reacted anhydrous aluminum chloride with potassuim amalgam.
 * Industrial uses: ** Aluminum is used extensively because of it’s high strength and low density. Aluminum’s biggest use would be in packing, it’s used for a variety of objects; such as cans, foils, tubes, and bottle tops. The second most common use is in transportation. It is mostly for aeroplans which are made up of 80% aluminum. It is also used for painting other surfaces.
 * Ores in which aluminum is found: ** The ore is mined from rocks that have been out in bad weather in a tropical environment, bauxite. The main ore minerals in bauxite are gibbsite, bohmeite, and diaspore.
