Answer:

No, Aluminium will not be useful as a food wrapping if it had a much lower melting point

Step-by-step explanation:

Aluminium foil with a lower melting point could easily melt when it will come in contact of hot food. In such circumstances, it would not be safe to wrap food in aluminium foil as its melted left out remains could be consumed with food. This may harm the health of an individual after continuous consumption of aluminium in long run.

Thus, aluminium will not be useful as a food wrapping if it had a much lower melting point
