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.

6 C(s) + 3 H2(g) → 2 C6H6(l) Δ H = 49 kJ<br><br> TRUE or FALSE
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

True => ΔH°f for C₆H₆ = 49 Kj/mole

Explanation:

See Thermodynamic Properties Table in appendix of most college level general chemistry texts. The values shown are for the standard heat of formation of substances at 25°C. The Standard Heat of Formation of a substance - by definition - is the amount of heat energy gained or lost on formation of the substance from its basic elements in their standard state. C₆H₆(l) is formed from Carbon and Hydrogen in their basic standard states. All elements in their basic standard states have ΔH°f values equal to zero Kj/mole.

A covalent bond describes two atoms (most likely nonmetals) that share their valence electrons to satisfy the octet rule. Carbon and oxygen are both nonmetals, and they would share electrons with each other through a bond that is not polar enough to be considered ionic. The answer should be B

Convert the following with the correct number of significant figures:
larisa [96]

Answer:

1.78 × 10⁹ μg

Explanation:

We have to convert 1.78 kg to μg.

Step 1: Convert 1.78 kilograms to grams

We will use the conversion factor 1 kg = 10³ g.

1.78 kg × 10³ g/1 kg = 1.78 × 10³ g

Step 2: Convert 1.78 × 10³ grams to micrograms

We will use the conversion factor 1 g = 10⁶ μg.

1.78 × 10³ g × 10⁶ μg/1 g = 1.78 × 10⁹ μg

How does the Doppler effect related to the universal expanding?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
The Doppler effect doesn't just apply to sound. It works with all types of waves, which includes light. Edwin Hubble used the Doppler effect to determine that the universe is expanding. Hubble found that the light from distant galaxies was shifted toward lower frequencies, to the red end of the spectrum. This is known as a red Doppler shift, or a red-shift. If the galaxies were moving toward Hubble, the light would have been blue-shifted.

Find the mass of 250.00 ml of benzene. The density of benzene is 0.8765 g/ml. (Please show how you got this answer)
Ivenika [448]

Density is Mass per Volume

so

0,8765 g/ml = Mass of Benzene / 250 ml

Mass of Benzene = 219,125 gram

so 250 ml of benzene is equal to 219,125 gram
