The given question incomplete, the complete question is:

In the Hall-Heroult process, a large electric current is passed through a solution of aluminum oxide (Al,03) dissolved in molten cryolite (Na, Alts).re in the reduction of the Al, o, to pure aluminum. Suppose a current of 1800. A is passed through a Hall-Heroult cell for 37.0 seconds. Calculate the mass of pure aluminum produced Be sure your answer has a unit symbol and the correct number of significant digits.

Answer:

The correct answer is 6.2114 grams.

Explanation:

Based on the given question, the value of current or I have given is 1800 amperes, the time given is 37 seconds, and there is a need to find the mass of the pure aluminum generated in the process. Mass or weight can be determined by using Faraday's first law equation, that is, w = MIt/nF.  

Here, M is the atomic mass, w is the weight of the substance deposited, t is time, I is current, n is the number of moles of the electron, and F is the Faraday's constant, which is 96500 C. In the process mentioned in the question, aluminum oxide is reduced to give rise to pure aluminum, and in the process 3 electrons are gained. So, the value of n will be 3. The M or the atomic mass of Al is 27 gm per mole. Now putting the values in the equation we get,  

w = 27*1800*37 / 3*96500

w = 1798200 / 289500

w = 6.2114 grams

Hence, pure aluminum produced in the process is 6.2114 grams.

A neutral isotope has a mass number of 65 and 36 neutrons. Identify the element symbol of this isotope and determine the number
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Is an isotope of Cu (Copper)

Explanation:

Remember that the mass number will tell you the number of protons and neutrons. If you have the mass number(65) and the number of neutrons (36), you just need to subtract: 65 - 36 = 29 the number or protons.

As this is a neutral isotope, that means that is going to have the same number of protons and electrons, that is 29.

How many moles of chlorine (Cl) atoms are in a sample of 1.72 × 1022 atoms?
Ainat [17]
<span>1mole of Cl atoms contain the Avogadro's number 6x10 exp 23(10 to the power of 23)
there for xmoles of Cl atoms is contained in 1.72x1022atoms
xmoles =1.72x1022 divided by 6x10exp 23
2.93 exp -23moles(2.93 x10 to the power of -23)



Hope It helped Let me know if did!!!!
