Explanation:

Bayer process is industrial method of the refining of the bauxite to produce alumina which is aluminum oxide.

As alumina is amphoteric in nature, it exhibits a higher solubility at both the extremes of pH range, it is possible to dissolve alumina in low as well as in high pH solutions.

Dissolution of the alumina at high pH is well recognized in Bayer process. Bauxite is digested in very <u>high pH solution (> 13) of alkali</u> like sodium hydroxide at temperature of about 150–250°C and pressure at 20 atm. <u>This is done so that the dissolved alumina is separated from rest of insoluble bauxite minerals. </u>

The density of gold is 19.3 g/cm3. What is the volume of a 13 g gold nugget? (Density: D = ) .25 cm3 .67 cm3 1.48 cm3 2.50 cm3

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 0.67 cm³ </h3>

Explanation:

Density of a substance can be found by using the formula

<h3> $Density = \frac{mass}{volume}$ </h3>

Making volume the subject we have

<h3> $volume = \frac{mass}{Density}$ </h3>

From the question

mass of gold nugget = 13 g

Density = 19.3 g/cm³

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve for the volume

We have

<h3> $volume = \frac{13}{19.3}$ </h3>

= 0.673575

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
