Aluminum and its compounds
I am irreplaceable metal, Much loved by the pilot, Lightweight, electrically conductive, And the character is transitional
Pliny Senior - ancient Roman writer - polymath.
There is a legend about how a stranger came to the Roman Emperor Tiberius. As a gift to the emperor, he brought a bowl he had made, made of a metal shiny like silver, but extremely light. The master said that he received this metal from “clay soil.” But the emperor, fearing that his gold and silver would depreciate, ordered the master’s head to be cut off and his workshop to be destroyed.
- In the 19th century at imperial receptions -------- dishes was the most prestigious. Napoleon III once hosted a banquet at which especially honored guests were given ____ spoons and forks. The simpler guests were honored with the usual gold and silver cutlery for the imperial court. In addition, only the son of Napoleon III had an expensive ______________rattle for those times.”
D.I. Mendeleev
At the time of the discovery of this metal, it was more expensive than gold. The British, having decided to honor the great Russian chemist D.I. Mendeleev with a rich gift, presented him with chemical scales, in which one bowl was made of gold, and the other of ... A bowl made of this metal became more expensive than gold. The resulting “silver” from clay interested not only scientists, but also industrialists and even the Emperor of France
I am made of ordinary clay,
But I am extremely modern. I'm not afraid of electric shock I fly fearlessly in the air; I serve in the kitchen without a deadline - I can handle all the tasks. I am proud of my name: My name is...........
In the 1860s, every Parisian fashionista certainly had to have in her outfit at least one piece of jewelry made of aluminum - a metal valued higher than silver and gold
“This metal is destined for a great future.”
Chernyshevsky N. G.
He is important, that's for sure.
We absolutely need him.
Handsome silver, light,
Conducts current, ductile, malleable.
No wonder they call him winged,
Every person on the planet knows about him.
This metal evokes admiration,
And the unique properties are used.

Construction
Aluminum and its alloys are used in industrial and civil construction in the manufacture of building frames, trusses, window frames, stairs and other structures.
ALUMINUM IN ROCKET FUEL.
When aluminum burns in oxygen and fluorine, a lot of heat is released. Therefore, it is used as an additive to rocket fuel. The Saturn rocket burns 36 tons of aluminum powder during its flight. The idea of using metals as a component rocket fuel first stated by F.A. Tsander.
Carefully!!! Aluminum
Aluminum cookware, under the influence of boiling milk and boiled vegetables in microscopic doses, splits off from the container and safely penetrates into our stomach. So it is better to refrain from storing any food in aluminum appliances.
If cooking in such utensils takes place over many years, then, according to experts, a sufficient amount of aluminum accumulates in the body throughout this time, which can cause anemia, kidney, liver disease, and also provoke neurological disorders.
According to some studies, the intake of aluminum into the human body has been considered a factor in the development of the disease. Alzheimer's

THIS IS INTERESTING:
- Aluminum will also find its place in the production of new so-called "smart" clothes . Manufacturers have already created fabric coated with a thin layer of this metal, which is called aluminized fabric.
With interesting properties such as sequential warming and cooling, it can
be applied in various fields.
For example, if there are curtains made of this fabric hanging on the window, they will reflect heat rays on hot days, but will let light through. This way the room will be cool and light. In winter, the curtains can be turned with the metal side facing the room, this will return heat to the room. This fabric can be considered universal - the owner of a raincoat made from it need not fear either heat or cold. In this case, depending on the weather, the raincoat must be turned one way or another.

Danish physicist Hans Oersted () He first obtained aluminum in 1825 by the action of potassium amalgam on aluminum chloride followed by distillation of mercury.
Modern production of aluminum The modern production method was developed independently of each other: by the American Charles Hall and the Frenchman Paul Héroux in 1886. It consists of dissolving aluminum oxide in molten cryolite, followed by electrolysis using consumable coke or graphite electrodes.
As a student at Oberlin College, he learned that he could become rich and gain the gratitude of humanity if he could invent a way to produce aluminum on an industrial scale. Like a man possessed, Charles experimented with producing aluminum by electrolysis of cryolite-alumina melt. On February 23, 1886, a year after graduating from college, Charles produced the first aluminum using electrolysis. Charles Hall (1863 – 1914) American chemical engineer
Paul Héroux () - French chemical engineer In 1889, he opened an aluminum plant in Front (France), becoming its director, he designed an electric arc furnace for steel smelting, named after him; he also developed an electrolytic method for obtaining aluminum alloys

Slide 7
Features of the physical and chemical properties of aluminum, its occurrence in nature and application:
Aluminum is the most common metal in the earth's crust. Its resources are practically inexhaustible. It has high corrosion resistance and practically does not need special protection. The high chemical activity of aluminum is used in aluminothermy. Low density combined with the high strength and ductility of its alloys makes aluminum an indispensable structural material in aircraft construction and contributes to the expansion of its use in ground-based and water transport, as well as in construction. Relatively high electrical conductivity allows them to replace much more expensive copper in electrical engineering.
Slide 8
Aluminum reacts with simple substances - non-metals
4Al+3O2 = 2Al2O3 The surface is covered with an oxide film, and in a finely divided form it burns, releasing a large amount of heat.2. 2Al + 3Cl2 = 2 AlCl33. 2Al + 3S = Al2S3 - when heated4. 4Al + 3C = Al4C3 - when heated

Slide 11
Aluminum reacts with complex substances:
4. Since aluminum is an amphoteric metal, it reacts with alkali solutions. In this case, sodium tetrahydroxoaluminate is formed and hydrogen is released: 2Al + 2NaOH + 6H2O = 2Na + 3H25. When the oxide film is removed from the surface of aluminum, it reacts with water to form aluminum hydroxide and hydrogen: 2Al + 6H2O = 2Al(OH)3 + 3H2

He first obtained aluminum in 1825 by the action of potassium amalgam on aluminum chloride followed by distillation of mercury. Danish physicist Hans Oersted (1777-1851) From the history of the discovery: During the discovery of aluminum, the metal was more expensive than gold. The British wanted to honor the great Russian chemist D.I. Mendeleev with a rich gift; they gave him chemical scales, in which one cup was made of gold, the other of aluminum. An aluminum cup has become more expensive than a gold one. The resulting “silver from clay” interested not only scientists, but also industrialists and even the Emperor of France.
