Solution

Dear Student,

Following are the two reasons beacuse of which Al is used for making utensils for cooking.

  • Aluminum is good conductor of heat.
  • It does not undergo corrosion easily: Corrosion of aluminium occurs when the metal is exposed to oxygen, according to the following reaction:

4 Al(s) + 3 O 2 (g) → 2 Al 2 O 3 (s)
