B) Why is aluminium extracted using electrolysis and not carbon?

Chemistry

The extraction is done by electrolysis. The ions in the aluminium oxide must be free to move so that electricity can pass through it. Aluminium oxide has a very high melting point (over 2000°C) so it would be expensive to melt it. The use of cryolite reduces some of the energy costs involved in extracting aluminium.

Answer:

Aluminum is more reactive than carbon so it must be extracted from its compounds using electrolysis.

Explanation:

Even though aluminum is more abundant than iron in the Earth's crust, aluminum is more expensive than iron. This is mainly because of the large amounts of electrical energy used in the extraction process.

For water you could add oil..ex: cooking oil separates form water because water is heavier than oil.

For Magnesium Sulfate you could add Sodium Carbonate..ex: Sodium Carb reacts to Mg Sulfate adding a darker hue to the liquid and adding a lot of bubbles.

For Sodium Carbonate you could add Sulfuric Acid..ex: Sulfuric Acid would add a reaction to the Sodium Carb that would resembling water boiling

Answer:

The number of neutrons is entirely dependent on the Mass number of the particular atom. The standard mass for potassium is 39.

Potassium is element number 19, so it has 19 protons and 19 electrons in the neutral atom. It has therefore 39-19 = 20 Neutrons.

A 50.00 g sample of an unknown metal is heated to 45.00°C. It is then placed in a coffee-cup calorimeter filled with water. The
AysviL [449]

Answer:- Heat lost by the metal is 279.45 cal.

Solution:- This type of problems are solved by using the concept, heat given = - heat taken

Metal temperature is decreasing from 45.00 degree C to 11.08 degree C. It means the heat is lost by the metal and this heat lost by metal is gained by water and the calorimeter to raise their temperature.

the equation we use is, q=mc\Delta T .

where, q is the heat energy, m is mass, c is specific heat and \Delta T is change in temperature.

Combined mass of calorimeter and water is 250.0 g and the specific heat is \frac{1.035cal}{g.^0C} .

\Delta T  for calorimeter and water (combined) = 11.08 - 10.00 = 1.08 degree C

\Delta T  for metal = 11.08 - 45.00 = -33.92 degree C

let's plug in the values in the above equation and calculate heat gained by combined system.

q=250.0g*\frac{1.035cal}{g.^0C}*1.08^0C

q = 279.45 cal

So, the heat lost by the metal is 279.45 cal.
