Answer:

Alcoa Process:

Al Reaction 2.74: 23+2+32→23++2

Explanation:

2O3 from the Bayer process is chlorinated under reducing condition in the presence of C at (700-900)0 C to produce AlCl3, CO, CO2. AlCl3 vapour from the reaction is condensed at 700C in a fluid bed containing AlCl3 particles. The solid AlCl3 particles containing feed into an electrolytic cell containing a fused chloride electrolyte (AlCl3+NaCl+LiCl) at 7000 C. On electrolysis, Al (liquid) formed at the cathode, gaseous Cl2 liberated at the anode.

Instead, it is extracted by electrolysis. The ore is first converted into pure aluminium oxide by the Bayer Process, and this is then electrolysed in solution in molten cryolite - another aluminium compound. The aluminium oxide has too high a melting point to electrolyse on its own. The usual aluminium ore is bauxite.

Which has prokaryotic cells
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
An organism is said to have a prokaryotic cell if its cell is a very simple one that does not contain any true nucleus and which do not have membrane bound organelles. Prokaryotes are usually unicellular organisms, examples are bacteria. One key feature of prokaryotic cell is a piece of circular, double stranded DNA which is usually found in the cell.

A gas cylinder contains exactly 15 moles of oxygen gas (O2). How many molecules of oxygen are in the cylinder? 4.01 × 1022 molec
kolezko [41]
Moles are used conveniently in chemistry especially in stoichiometric calculations involving reactions. The unit of mole is a collective term that holds 6.022×10^23 particles. These particles is a general term for any small units of matter including molecules, atoms and sub-particles. This ratio of 6.022×10^23 particles to 1 mole is known to be the Avogadro's number. Its exact number is actually <span>6.0221409</span>×10^23. We use this constant in our stoichiometric calculation as follows:

15 moles oxygen * (6.022×10^23 molecules/ 1 mole oxygen) = 9.033×10^24 molecules of oxygen

Why is helium trapped in the earth's crust? If it's its trapped in the earth's crust how does it get into the air that we breath
lesya [120]
 <span>A small proportion of helium in the crust is helium that was trapped in the Earth when the Earth formed and has not yet escaped. Most helium on Earth, however, forms as a result of alpha decay of uranium and thorium. The emitted alpha particles, once they grab a couple of stray electrons, become helium atoms and can accumulate in gas reservoirs along with things such as methane.</span>
