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 100.A is passed through a Hall-Heroult cell for 41.0 seconds. Calculate the mass of pure aluminum produced. Round your answer to 3 significant digits. Also, be sure your answer contains a unit symbol.

Answer:

0.382g

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the reduction half-reaction

Al³⁺(aq) + 3 e⁻ ⇒ Al(s)

Step 2: Calculate the mass of Al produced when a current of 100. A passes through the cell for 41.0 s

We will use the following relationships.

  • 1 A = 1 C/s
  • 1 mole of electrons has a charge of 96486 C (Faraday's constant)
  • 1 mole of Al is produced when 3 moles of electrons pass through the cell.
  • The molar mass of Al is 26.98 g/mol.

The mass of Al produced is:

41.0s \times \frac{100C}{s} \times \frac{1mole^{-} }{96486C} \times \frac{1molAl}{3mole^{-} } \times \frac{26.98gAl}{1molAl} = 0.382gAl

How many grams of aluminum chloride are needed to react completely with 1.084g lithium sulfide?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
Molar mass :

Li₂S = <span>45.947 g/mol

AlCl</span>₃ = <span>133.34 g/mol

</span><span>3 Li</span>₂<span>S + 2 AlCl</span>₃<span> = 6 LiCl + Al</span>₂S₃

3 * 45.947 g Li₂S ----------> 2 * <span>133.34 g AlCl</span>₃
1.084 g Li₂S ----------------> ?

Mass Li₂S = 1.084 * 2 * 133.34 / 3 * 45.947

Mass Li₂S = 289.08112 / 137.841

Mass Li₂S = 2.0972 g 

hope this helps!
