well, today i skipped lunch because i decided to work on some homework instead, so i had left my turkey and cheese sandwhich with mayonaise in my lockerI already left school and i just remeberedThe sandwhich has been there since 7:20 this morning, if i get to it by 7:20 tomorrow morning do you think it would have already started to smell bad enough for other people to smell through my locker? It's just that it's happened to me once before and it was really embarassing and i'm afraid it;; happen again(the sandwhich is rapped in aluminum foil and in a brown paper bag) thank you!
in spite of the reality that aluminum is chemically very energetic, it does no longer corrode in moist air the way iron doesquite, it rapidly kinds a skinny, troublesome coating of aluminum oxidecompared to iron oxide or rust, which flakes off, the aluminum oxide sticks tightly to the metallic and protects it from added oxidationThe oxide coating is so skinny that it is clear, so the aluminum keeps its silvery metallic visual attractionSea water, besides the undeniable fact that, will corrode aluminum till that is been given an highly thick coating of oxide through the anodizing procedure.
You don't mention what climate you are in, so I will assume an average building temperature of about 72 degrees.you should be able to dispose of it with no problem if you do it early, don't open it at all and just act naturalThe mayo will be beyond it, thoughI once left pastrami on rye tightly wrapped in a bag in a bank vault from Friday evening to Monday morning.it wasn't very bad, but I also kept all the others out until I did the removalI still regret the loss of that sandwich.
There is a thin protective layer of insoluble aluminium oxide on all samples of the metalThis tends to slow down further oxidation.
