The material which is used as source for commercial production aluminum is bauxite.

The aluminum can be extracted from bauxite ore by the process of Bayer process.

In the Bayer process, bauxite ore is heated in the pressure vessel along with a caustic soda solution (sodium hydroxide) at a temperature between 150 to 200 °C. At this temperatures, the aluminium is dissolved in the solution as sodium aluminate in the extraction process. After separation of the residue by filtering, when the liquid is cooled gibbsite is precipitated and then it is seeded with fine-grained aluminum hydroxide crystals from previous extractions. The precipitation take 7-19 days without the addition of seed crystals.

This extraction process converts the aluminium oxide to soluble sodium aluminate, NaAlO2, which afterward converted into aluminum hydroxide and then into aluminum oxide.

Thus, we concluded that the material which is used as source for commercial production aluminum is bauxite ore.

Explain what is meant by Pleistocene ice age
makkiz [27]

By Pleistocene ice age is meant the glacial periods that appeared in the Pleistocene. The Pleistocene is the first epoch of the Quaternary. It is an epoch when there was a so called ''ice age'' on the Earth, or rather a glacial period. During this ice age the planet had much lower temperatures on a global scale. The climate was also much drier. Lot of ocean water was frozen in the ice sheets that were stretching deep into the North American and Eurasian continents, which resulted in much lower sea levels that today as well. The places further north than 40 degrees of latitude were almost exclusively covered with ice, so life was almost impossible apart from some coastline places.

A student has a piece of aluminum metal. Which is the most reasonable assumption the student could make about the metal?
igor_vitrenko [27]

Aluminium belongs to 13th group of periodic table. It undergoes oxidation to given Al^+3 .

It is observed that when aluminium is added to a solution of copper sulphate the colour of the solution changes from blue to grey. It is due to formation of grey coloured solution of aluminium sulphate as

2Al^+3  + 3SO4^-2  ---> Al2(SO4)3
