Chemistry

AleksandrR [38]1 year ago
3 0

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.

Explanation:

Physical changes only change the appearance of a substance, not its chemical composition.

Chemical changes cause a substance to change into an entirely substance with a new chemical formula.

Chemical changes are also known as chemical reactions. The “ingredients” of a reaction are called reactants, and the end results are called products

How many moles of hydrogen gas occupy a volume of 0.25L at STP?
Igoryamba

Answer:

There are 0,011 moles of hydrogen gas.

Explanation:

We use the ideal gas formula, with the constant R = 0.082 l atm / K mol. The STP conditions are : 1 atm pressure and 273 K temperature. Solve for the formula, n (number of moles):

PV=nRT ---> n= (PV)/(RT)

n= (1 atm x 0,25 L)/ (0,082 l atm/ K mol x 273 K)

<em>n= 0,011 mol</em>

A speed time graph shows that a car moves at 20 m/s for 15s. The car's speed steadily decreases until it comes to a stop at 40s.
ladessa [460]
0s to 15s: constant speed/zero acceleration
15s to 40s: constant gradient, therefore constant deceleration

The elements Lithium (Li), Boron (B), and Oxygen (O) are all in the same _________ on the periodic table.
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

Period

Explanation:

If we ubicate te period one on the alkaline metals, we can see the lithium, so we go to the borans on te group AIII an we see Boron, move to the rigth on the same sense tou the group AVI we see the Oxygen, we can know that also for the electronic configuration Li:1s²2s¹    B:1s²2s²3p
