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.

What element has 47 protons in its nucleus?
sesenic [268]

Answer:

b). silver (Ag)

Explanation:

If you look at the periodic table, you just need to look at the atomic number of the element, because the atomic number tells you how many protons there are in the nucleus of the element.

But do be careful because some periodic tables have the molar mass at the top left corner, but the one I use has the atomic number at the top left corner, so make sure you look for the atomic number and not the molar mass.

A sample of silicon rejected for use in an electronic circuit has an impurity of boron at a level of 3 parts per trillion. What
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

A. 3 x 10-12

Explanation:

Generally, the parts-per notation is used to represent very small concentration without any specific unit.

Parts per million is notated as 10^{-6}

Parts per billion is notated as 10^{-9}

Parts per trillion is notated as 10^{-12}

Hence, 3 parts per trillion will be written as 3 x 10^{-12}

The correct option is A.

Given the reaction: solid sodium reacts with chlorine gas to form solid sodium chloride How many moles of the product result fro
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

number of moles of NaCl produce = 12 mol

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to write the chemical equation of the reaction and balance it .

Na(s) + Cl2(g) → NaCl(s)

The balanced equation is as follows:

2Na(s) + Cl2(g) → 2NaCl(s)

1 mole(71 g) of chlorine produces 2 moles(117  g) of sodium chloride

6 mole of chlorine gas will produce ? mole of sodium chloride

cross multiply

number of moles of NaCl produce = 6 × 2

number of moles of NaCl produce = 12 moles

number of moles of NaCl produce = 12 mol
