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

topjm [15]
<span>The answer to the question "what is the highest point of the transverse wave called" is a crest or peak. A transverse wave is a wave in which the medium of the wave vibrates at 90 degrees to the direction in which the wave is moving at. The lowest points are called the troughs. Examples of transverse waves are light and electromagnetic radiation.</span>

You are making homemade ice cream and can use either 200 g Ice Melt (CaCl2) or 200 g rock salt (NaCl) to lower the freezing poin
mash [69]

Answer:

Calcium chloride (CaCl2) would help me eat my ice cream faster

Explanation:

Addition of salt to ice melts the lowers the freezing temperature of the ice thus melting the ice easily

Adding calcium chloride to my ice cream would help me eat it faster because the melting point of calcium chloride (772°C) is lower than that of sodium chloride (melting point is 801°C). Calcium chloride would melt my ice cream faster because of its lower melting point

Answer:

As the kinetic energy of the gaseous solute increases, its molecules have a greater tendency to escape the attraction of the solvent molecules and return to the gas phase. Therefore, the solubility of a gas decreases as the temperature increases.

Which of the following is the largest volume? 1.2 x 101 m3 1.2 x 108 cm3 2.0 x 104 dm3 1.2 x 108 mm3
alexandr1967 [171]
In order to answer this question, the units of volume must be consistent. In this problem, we decide the unit m3 to be uniform. Option A is equal to 12 m3, option b is equal to 1.2x10^8/100^3 or 120 m3. Option C is 2.0 x10^4/ 10^3 or 20 m3. Option D is 1.2x10^8/ 1000^3 or 0.12 m3. The greatest volume is option b. 120 m3.
