Do you think an aluminum can would behave in the same manner as powdered aluminum? Why or why not?

behave the same in what aspect exactly?

The aluminum paste could or will possibly no longer artwork. It relies upon on what the solvent is that the aluminum is dissolved in. Why no longer get a block of aluminum and a grinder, and make your person aluminum airborne dirt and mud?

it really depends on what sense you're talking about. they'll both react with the same things, they'll both conduct electricity (though the former not as well), but any sort of chemical change will occur much faster for the powdered aluminum because of the added surface area.

Depends what you mean:
If dropped yes because the physical characteristics have been changed.
If you mean chemical properties, no- pulverising aluminum is a physical change and does not effect the chemical properties (melting point, etc)
Hope this helps

In what respects?
There's a hell of a lot more surface area with powdered aluminium and so it'll do a hell of a lot more!
