The Hall process for the production of aluminum involves the reaction of aluminum oxide with elemental carbon to give aluminum m

etal and carbon monoxide. If the yield of this reaction is 82% and aluminum ore is 71% by mass aluminum oxide, what mass of aluminum ore must be mined in order to produce 1.0 x 103 kg (1 metric ton) of aluminum metal by the Hall process?

Answer:

  • <u><em>1.7 × 10³ kg of ore.</em></u>

Explanation:

Call X the amount of aluminum ore mined to produce 1.0 × 10³ kg the aluminum metal.

Then, taking into account the yield of the reaction (82 % = 0.82) and the percent of aluminun in the ore (71% = 0.71), you can write the following equation:

  •  X         ×          71%                ×       82%     =     1.0 × 10³ kg

         ↑                      ↑                              ↑                     ↑

(mass of ore)    (% of Al in the ore)        (yield)        ( Al metal to obtain)

You must just simplify, solve and compute:

  • 0.71 × 0.82 × X = 1,000
  • X = 1,000 / (0.71 × 0.82) = 1,000 / 0.5822 = 1,717.6 Kg

Round to two significant figures; 1,700 kg = 1.7 × 10³ kg of ore ← answer.

Mass of aluminium ore = 1.629.10³ kg

Percent yield is the compare of the amount of product obtained from a reaction with the amount you calculated

General formula:

Percent yield = (Actual yield / theoretical yield )x 100%

An actual yield is the amount of product actually produced by the reaction. A theoretical yield is the amount of product that you calculate from the reaction equation according to the product and reactant coefficients

The Hall process:

Al₂O₃ + 3C ---> 2 Al + 3CO

To produce 1.0 x 10³ kg (1 metric ton) of aluminum metal(Al) and the yield of this reaction is 82% then

theoretical yield = An actual yield : percent yield

theoretical yield = 10³ : 0.82(82%)

theoretical yield = 1.219 .10³ kg = 1.219 .10⁶ gr mass of Al

atom mass Al = 27

mole Al = 1.219 .10⁶ : 27

mole Al = 4.5.10⁴

From reaction  :

mole Al₂O₃ : mole Al = 1 : 2 , so

mole Al₂O₃ = 0.5 x mole Al

mole Al₂O₃ = 0.5 x 4.5.10⁴

mole Al₂O₃ = 2.25.10⁴

Molecular mass  Al₂O₃ = 102 gr/mole

mass Al₂O₃ = mole x Molecular mass

mass Al₂O₃ = 2.25.10⁴ x 102

mass Al₂O₃ = 2.295.10⁶ gr

Because aluminum ore is 71% by mass aluminum oxide,then :

mass of aluminum ore = 0.71 (71%) x 2.295.10⁶ gr

mass of aluminum ore  = 1.629.10⁶ gr = 1.629.10³ kg

What will most likely happen in the absence of a vacuole?
Anon25 [30]

The cell will not store food, water, nutrients, and waste.

Explanation:

In the absence of a vacuole in a cell, the cell will not be able to store food, water, nutrients and its wastes.

The vacuole provides a storage medium for the products in the cell. It is a very important cell structure.

They store food and are both found in both plant and animal cells

*Genetic information are transmitted by the nucleus

* Energy is produced in the mitochondria

What is the contrast of these two atoms?
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

The atomic number of silicon is 14 while atomic mass of carbon is 14.

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

In given atoms ¹⁴₆C  and ²⁸₁₄Si the atomic mass of carbon is 14 while the atomic number of silicon is 14. It means silicon has 14 electrons or protons while carbon has 6 protons or electrons because its atomic number is 6. Carbon has 6 protons and 8 neutrons in its nucleus while silicon has 14 protons and 14 neutrons in its nucleus.

In C:

Number of neutrons + protons = 8 + 6 = 14 amu (mass number)

Number of electrons = 6

In Si:

Number of neutrons + protons = 14 + 14 = 28 amu (mass number)

Number of electrons = 14

What happens to the glucose molecule during the process of cellular respiration? (5 points)
Dmitry [639]

The correct answer is option a, that is, it gets broken down.  

A set of metabolic reactions and procedures, which occurs in the cells of organisms to transform biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP, and then discharge waste components is known as cellular respiration. At the time of cellular respiration, a molecule of glucose gets dissociated slowly into water and carbon dioxide. With it, some of the ATP is generated directly in the reactions, which transform glucose.

Research how different fossil fuels compare in terms of the amount of carbon dioxide released per kWh of energy. How much carbon
pshichka [43]

Answer:

About 19.64 pounds of carbon dioxide are produced from burning a gallon of gasoline. On the other hand, 22.38 pounds of carbon dioxide are produced from burning a gallon of diesel. So, different fossil fuels will give different amounts of carbon dioxide to be released.
