In the Hall-Heroult process, a large electric current is passed through a solution of aluminum oxide Al2O3 dissolved in molten c

ryolite Na3AlF6, resulting in the reduction of the Al2O3 to pure aluminum. Suppose a current of 620.A is passed through a Hall-Heroult cell for 90.0 seconds. Calculate the mass of pure aluminum produced. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol and the correct number of significant digits.

Answer:

1.13 × 10⁶ g

Explanation:

Let's consider the reduction of aluminum (III) from Al₂O₃ to pure aluminum.

Al³⁺ + 3 e⁻ → Al

We can establish the following relations:

  • 1 Ampere = 1 Coulomb / second
  • The charge of 1 mole of electrons is 96,468 c (Faraday's constant)
  • 1 mole of Al is produced when 3 moles of electrons circulate
  • The molar mass of Al is 26.98 g/mol.

The mass of aluminum produced under these conditions is:

90.0 s \times \frac{1s}{620c} \times \frac{96,468c}{1mole^{-} } \times \frac{3mole^{-}}{1molAl} \times \frac{26.98gAl}{1molAl} =1.13 \times 10^{6} g Al

How many grams of dry nh4cl need to be added to 2.50 l of a 0.800 m solution of ammonia, nh3, to prepare a buffer solution that
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is 574.59 grams.

Explanation:

Based on the given information, the number of moles of NH₃ will be,  

= 2.50 L × 0.800 mol/L

= 2 mol

The given pH of a buffer is 8.53

pH + pOH = 14.00

pOH = 14.00 - pH

pOH = 14.00 - 8.53

pOH = 5.47

The Kb of ammonia given is 1.8 * 10^-5. Now pKb = -logKb,  

= -log (1.8 ×10⁻⁵)

= 5.00 - log 1.8

= 5.00 - 0.26

= 4.74

Based on Henderson equation:  

pOH = pKb + log ([salt]/[base])

pOH = pKb + [NH₄⁺]/[NH₃]

5.47 = 4.74 + log ([NH₄⁺]/[NH₃])

log([NH₄⁺]/[NH₃]) = 5.47-4.74 = 0.73

[NH₄⁺]/[NH₃] = 10^0.73= 5.37

[NH₄⁺ = 5.37 × 2 mol = 10.74 mol

Now the mass of dry ammonium chloride required is,  

mass of NH₄Cl = 10.74 mol × 53.5 g/mol

= 574.59 grams.

Reaction of (r)-2-chloro-4-methylhexane with excess nai in acetone gives racemic 2-iodo-4-methylhexane. what is the explanation
saveliy_v [14]

I believe this question has the following five choices to choose from:

 

>an SN2 reaction has occurred with inversion of configuration

>racemization followed by an S N 2 attack

>an SN1 reaction has taken over resulting in inversion of configuration

>an SN1 reaction has occurred due to carbocation formation

>an SN1 reaction followed by an S N 2 “backside” attack

 

 

The correct answer is:

an SN1 reaction has occurred due to carbocation formation
