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.

The decomposition of HBr(g) into elemental species is found to have a rate constant of 4.2 ×10−3atm s−1. If 2.00 atm of HBr are
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

7,94 minutes

Explanation:

If the descomposition of HBr(gr) into elemental species have a rate constant, then this reaction belongs to a zero-order reaction kinetics, where the r<em>eaction rate does not depend on the concentration of the reactants. </em>

For the zero-order reactions, concentration-time equation can be written as follows:

                                          [A] = - Kt + [Ao]

where:

  • [A]: concentration of the reactant A at the <em>t </em>time,
  • [A]o: initial concentration of the reactant A,
  • K: rate constant,
  • t: elapsed time of the reaction

<u>To solve the problem, we just replace our data in the concentration-time equation, and we clear the value of t.</u>

Data:

K = 4.2 ×10−3atm/s,  

[A]o=[HBr]o= 2 atm,  

[A]=[HBr]=0 atm (all HBr(g) is gone)

<em>We clear the incognita :</em>

[A] = - Kt + [Ao]............. Kt =  [Ao] - [A]

                                        t  = ([Ao] - [A])/K

<em>We replace the numerical values:</em>

t = (2 atm - 0 atm)/4.2 ×10−3atm/s = 476,19 s = 7,94 minutes

So, we need 7,94 minutes to achieve complete conversion into elements ([HBr]=0).

Use the Bohr-Rutherford model of the atom to explain how an insulator-differs from a conductor
GaryK [48]

Answer:

A conductor is a material that permits electrons to effortlessly go through it. Copper is a good conductor. Note that the valence shell has just a single electron.

While;

Materials that don't conduct are named insulators.(i.e. glass, porcelain, plastic, elastic. The covering on electrical wire is an insulator.)

Insulators don't conduct since they have a full or almost full valence shell and along these lines their electrons are firmly bound.

Explanation:

According to Bohr Rutherford model of Atom, An Atom contains three essential particles; Protons and neutrons that make up the nucleus and the electrons that circle or orbit the nucleus. The electrons circle the nucleus.

What kind of weather can Wyoming soon expect?
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Average temperatures in July range from 85°F to 90°F during the day but cool off quickly after dark, dropping into the 50s and 60s (°F). Some regions of Wyoming are classified as desert, so there isn't much precipitation. Most of it falls as rain in the late spring and early summer, which is also a windy time of year.

How many liters of phosphine are produced when 34 L of hydrogen reacts with an excess of phosphorus under STP?
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

22.67 L of PH₃

Explanation:

The balanced equation is:

P_4 (s) + 6H_2(g) \to 4PH_3(g)

From the equation:

34 L \times \dfrac{1 \ mol \ of H_2 }{22.4 \ L \ H_2} \times \dfrac{4 \ mol \ of \ PH_3}{6 \ mol \ H_2} \times \dfrac{22.4 \ L \ PH_3}{1 \ mol \ PH_3}

= 22.67 L of PH₃
