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

Magnesium has 2 valence electrons, and oxygen has 6 valence electrons. Which type of bonding is likely to occur between a magnes
musickatia [10]

Answer:

A.  Ionic—Magnesium will give 2 electrons to oxygen, and both will become ions.

Explanation:

An ionic bond will form between the ions of both atoms. Ionic bonds forms when there is transfer of electrons between two atoms so as to achieve a noble configuration.

In the given problem, magnesium is a metal and highly electropositive. This implies that it will readily donate its valence electrons. Oxygen on the other hand is highly electronegative, to complete its outer shell configuration, it requires just two more electrons.

The transfer of the two electrons to the oxygen atom sets up an electrostatic force of attraction between the two ions and an ionic bond results.

Which characteristic of water helps it form strong bonds with other water molecules?
Vladimir79 [104]

The polar characteristic of water helps it form strong bonds with other water molecules.

<h3>What is polar structure?</h3>

A polar molecule is a molecule in which one end of the molecule is slightly positive, while the other end is slightly negative.

The attractive force between water molecules is a dipole interaction.

The hydrogen atoms are bound to the highly electronegative oxygen atom (which also possesses two lone pair sets of electrons, making for a very polar bond).

Hence, option D is correct.
