The overall equation for the electrolysis of aluminium oxide is:
1 answer:
941539.2 g of mass of oxygen is produced when 2000 kg of aluminium oxide is completely electrolysed.
<h3>What is electrolysis?</h3>Electrolysis is the process by which electric current is passed through a substance to effect a chemical change.
The mass of aluminium oxide Al₂O₃ = 2000 kg = 2000 000 g
Molar mass of Al₂O₃ = 101.96 g/mol
no of moles =
no of moles of Al₂O₃ =
no of moles of Al₂O₃ = 19615.4 mol
From the reaction:
4Al + 3O₂ ⇒ Al₂O₃
To determine the moles of O₂ in Al₂O₃:
Then;
19615.4 mol X mol of O₂ = 29423.1
The mass of oxygen now = 29423.1 × 32 g
= 941539.2 g
Hence, 941539.2 g of mass of oxygen is produced when 2000 kg of aluminium oxide is completely electrolysed.

Answer:
a) After the balloon inflated after 440 uL of dropwise due to the reaction of 1-Decene and the solution in the conical vial. b) ⇒ 16
c) No
was not the limiting reactant.
Explanation:
Generally, hydrogenation is the chemical reaction between a compound or element and molecular hydrogen in the presence of catalysts such as platinum.
a) After the balloon inflated after 440 uL of dropwise 1-Decene solution was added due to the reaction between 1-Decene and the solution in the conical vial.
b) ⇒ 16
c) was not the limiting reactant based on the mol to mol ratio of
and decane which is 1:1. Therefore, if 0.8 mol of decane was produced then 0.8 mol of
would also be produced.
