Aluminium Metal Turnings – 500 gram Packs

Aluminium Metal Turnings are small pieces of elemental aluminium with a silvery-white metallic appearance. Aluminium is represented by the chemical symbol Al and has an atomic weight of approximately 26.98 g/mol. The turnings form is useful in laboratory experiments involving metal properties, surface reactions, and selected reactions with acids or bases. Its physical dimensions and exposed surface area influence reaction behaviour, making it important to use the form specified by the experimental procedure. Aluminium may release hydrogen when it reacts with suitable acids or bases, so such experiments require appropriate supervision, ventilation, and ignition-source control. Before use in educational or research settings, laboratories should assess chemical compatibility and follow the product’s safety guidance. Aluminium turnings should be stored clean and dry to help maintain their condition.

Frequently Asked Questions About Aluminium Metal Turnings

What are Aluminium Metal Turnings used for?

Aluminium turnings are used in selected chemistry experiments involving metal reactivity, surface reactions, and physical properties. They are appropriate when the method specifically calls for aluminium in turnings form rather than powder, foil, or bulk metal.

What is the chemical formula of Aluminium Metal Turnings?

Aluminium metal is represented by the symbol Al and has an atomic weight of approximately 26.98 g/mol. The turnings form does not change the chemical identity of the elemental metal.

What is the CAS number of aluminium metal?

The CAS Registry Number for elemental aluminium is 7429-90-5. This number applies to aluminium metal and should not be confused with the identifiers for aluminium salts.

What precautions are needed during aluminium-turnings experiments?

Use suitable supervision and ventilation, particularly for reactions with acids or bases that may generate hydrogen gas. Keep ignition sources away and follow the method’s risk assessment, protective-equipment requirements, and waste procedures.

How should Aluminium Metal Turnings be stored?

Store them in a clean, dry, labelled container and protect them from contamination. Keep them away from incompatible chemicals and follow the applicable laboratory storage and fire-safety procedures.

Storage Conditions for Aluminium Metal Turnings

Keep the turnings in a clean, dry, labelled container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Protect the metal from contamination and segregate it from incompatible chemicals, including substances that could react with aluminium. Follow the product SDS and institutional storage procedures.

Precautions for Handling Aluminium Metal Turnings

Wear suitable gloves, eye protection, and laboratory clothing. Avoid producing fine particles during transfer or handling. For experiments that can release hydrogen, control ignition sources and ensure suitable ventilation. Follow the laboratory risk assessment and approved spill and waste-management procedures.
