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.

Which of the following corresponds to an alpha particle?
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

Atomic number=No. of protons=No. of electrons in ground state(unchanged atom)

Atomic number=13=No. of protons

Atomic mass=no. of protons+no. of neutrons=13+14=27

For isotope no. of proton=13(same atomic number but different mass number are isotopes)

no. of electrons=13

no. of neutrons=14+2=16

At a certain temperature the vapor pressure of pure benzene is measured to be . Suppose a solution is prepared by mixing of benz
Marianna [84]

Answer:

P(C₆H₆) = 0.2961 atm

Explanation:

I found an exercise pretty similar to this, so i'm gonna use the data of this exercise to show you how to do it, and then, replace your data in the procedure so you can have an accurate result:

<em>"At a certain temperature the vapor pressure of pure benzene (C6H6) is measured to be 0.63 atm. Suppose a solution is prepared by mixing 79.2 g of benzene and 115. g of heptane (C7H16) Calculate the partial pressure of benzene vapor above this solution. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. Note for advanced students: you may assume the solution is ideal".</em>

<em />

Now, according to the data, we want partial pressure of benzene, so we need to use Raoul's law which is:

P = Xₐ * P°    (1)

Where:

P: Partial pressure

Xₐ: molar fraction

P°: Vapour pressure

We only have the vapour pressure of benzene in the mixture. We need to determine the molar fraction first. To do this, we need the moles of each compound in the mixture.

To get the moles:   n = m / MM

To get the molar mass of benzene (C₆H₆) and heptane (C₇H₁₆), we need the atomic weights of Carbon and hydrogen, which are 12 g/mol and 1 g/mol:

MM(C₆H₆) = (12*6) + (6*1) = 78 g/mol

MM(C₇H₁₆) = (7*12) + (16*1) = 100 g/mol

Let's determine the moles of each compound:

moles (C₆H₆) = 79.2 / 78 = 1.02 moles

moles (C₇H₁₆) = 115 / 100 = 1.15 moles

moles in solution = 1.02 + 1.15 = 2.17 moles

To get the molar fractions, we use the following expression:

Xₐ = moles(C₆H₆) / moles in solution

Xₐ = 1.02 / 2.17 = 0.47

Finally, the partial pressure is:

P(C₆H₆) = 0.47 * 0.63

<h2>P(C₆H₆) = 0.2961 atm</h2>

Hope this helps
