Aluminium extraction from its ore​

Chemistry
1 answer:
klasskru [66]3 years ago
8 0
Aluminium ore is called bauxite. The bauxite is purified to produce aluminium oxide, a white powder from which aluminium can be extracted.

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. Aluminium oxide does not dissolve in water, but it does dissolve in molten cryolite. This is an aluminium compound with a lower melting point than aluminium oxide. The use of cryolite reduces some of the energy costs involved in extracting aluminium.

What are stars and galaxy made of?
goldfiish [28.3K]
What are stars made of? Basically, stars are big exploding balls of gas, mostly hydrogen and helium. Our nearest star, the Sun, is so hot that the huge amount of hydrogen is undergoing a constant star-wide nuclear reaction, like in a hydrogen bomb.

In a spiral galaxy like the Milky Way, the stars, gas, and dust are organized into a "bulge," a "disk" containing "spiral arms," and a "halo." Elliptical galaxies have a "bulge-shape" and a "halo," but do not have a "disk.

How many CO2 molecules in 0.0189 mol of CO2?
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

option C is correct = 1.14 × 10²² molecules of  CO₂

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of CO₂ = 0.0189 mol

Number of molecules = ?

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

For given question:

1 mole of CO₂ =  6.022 × 10²³ molecules of  CO₂

0.0189 mol of CO₂ ×  6.022 × 10²³ molecules of  CO₂ / 1mol

1.14 × 10²² molecules of  CO₂

Thus, option C is correct.
