Aluminium extraction from its ore​

Chemistry
1 answer:
klasskru [66]2 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.

When liquid bromine is cooled to form a solid, which of the following types of solid would it form?.
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

If liquid bromine is cooled to form a solid, which type of solid does it form? Brass is made by melting copper and zinc and physically mixing them. As this alloy is cooled, it forms a solid where the copper and zinc are not chemically bonded together.

Study the graph about oxygen content of Earth’s atmosphere. Oxygen Content of Earth apostrophe s Atmosphere line graph. X axis i
Anika [276]

Explanation:

from the graph study about oxygen content of Earth's atmosphere, we can understand that  

1)

4 billions year ago = None, 3 billions year ago = Cyanobacteria and Archaea , 2 and 1 billions year ago = Bacteria and Green algae , 500 Ma = invertebrate fossils started to existence. Early land plants came in to existence around 398 MA that is Devonian. Dinosaurs are came in to existence during Triassic and Jurassic that is around 251 Ma. Man and animals are recent organism came under Holocene that is 11000 years ago.

2)

The first cells on the earth are anaerobic microorganisms, as the CO2 level is too high they survive by using CO2.

3)

Starting around 2.7 billion years ago, photosynthesis by Cyanobacteria and later plants , pumped “OXYGEN” in to the atmosphere. This caused the decline of anaerobic bacteria and allows the diversification of animals as seen in “CAMBRIAN” around 500 millions year ago.  

Early vascular plants “CAPTURED” CO2 starting before the Carboniferous period that began around 350 millions year.Leading to lower temperatures and allowing and allowing the seed plants to outcompetes seedless plants.

Modern human activities has raised both “CO2 and METHANE” level in the atmosphere to over leading to higher temperature and extinction of other species.
