Answer:

44.7 kWh

Explanation:

Let's consider the reduction of Al₂O₃ to Al in the Bayer process.

6 e⁻ + 3 H₂O + Al₂O₃ → 2 Al + 6 OH⁻

We can establish the following relations:

  • The molar mass of Al is 26.98 g/mol.
  • 2 moles of Al are produced when 6 moles of e⁻ circulate.
  • 1 mol of e⁻ has a charge of 96468 c (Faraday's constant).
  • 1 V = 1 J/c
  • 1 kWh = 3.6 × 10⁶ J

When the applied electromotive force is 5.00 V, the energy required to produce 3.00 kg (3.00 × 10³ g) of aluminum is:

3.00 \times 10^{3} gAl.\frac{1molAl}{26.98gAl} .\frac{6mole^{-}}{2molAl}.\frac{96468c}{1mole^{-}}.\frac{5.00J}{c}.\frac{1kWh}{3.6 \times 10^{6}J} =44.7kWh

Answer:

A

Explanation:

To answer this, we need to use Gay-Lussac's law, which states that:

\frac{P_1}{T_1}= \frac{P_2}{T_2} , where P is pressure and T is temperature

The initial pressure we're given is 4.5 atm (so P1 = 4.5) and the temperature is 45.0°C; however, we need to change Celsius to Kelvins, so add 273 to 45.0: 45.0 + 273 = 318 K (so T1 = 318).

The final pressure is what we want to find, but we do know the final temperature is 3.1°C. Converting this to Kelvins, we get: 3.1 + 273 = 276.1 K, which means T2 = 276.1.

Plug these values in:

\frac{P_1}{T_1}= \frac{P_2}{T_2}

\frac{4.5}{318}= \frac{P_2}{276.1}

Multiply both sides by 276.1:

P_2 ≈ 3.9 atm

The answer is thus A.

When circumstances are right, most materials undergo a process called thermal expansion. Which statement best describes the caus
harina [27]

Answer: Matter is heated, and its particles spread out more

Explanation:

Thermal expansion occurs when there's an expansion of an object or material or when an object becomes bigger because of a rise in its temperature. This brings about the faster movement of the heated molecules and the atoms spreading out.

Therefore, the cause and effect of thermal expansion will be that when matter is heated, and its particles spread out more.

3. A compound consists of 91.63 grams of carbon, 7.69 grams of hydrogen and 40.81 grams of
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Molecular formula = C₁₂H₁₂O₄

Empirical formula is C₃H₃O.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of C = 91.63 g

Mass of H = 7.69 g

Mass pf O = 40.81 g

Molar mass of compound = 220 g/mol

Empirical formula = ?

Molecular formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of H = 7.69 / 1.01 = 7.61

Number of gram atoms of O = 40.81 / 16 = 2.55

Number of gram atoms of C = 91.63 / 12 = 7.64

Atomic ratio:

            C                      :      H                :         O

           7.64/2.55          :    7.61 /2.55    :       2.55/2.55

               3                     :          3               :        1

C : H : O = 3 : 3 : 1

Empirical formula is C₃H₃O.

Molecular formula:

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

Empirical formula mass  = 3×12+ 3×1.01 +16 = 55.03

n = 220 / 55.03

n = 4

Molecular formula = 4 (empirical formula)

Molecular formula = 4 (C₃H₃O)

Molecular formula = C₁₂H₁₂O₄
