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.

(GIVING BRAINLYIST) How does temperature and precipitation change as you increase in elevation?
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

Temperature gets cooler and precipitation increases.

Explanation:

As average temperatures at the Earth's surface rise, more evaporation occurs, which, in turn, increases overall precipitation. … In addition, higher temperatures lead to more evaporation, so increased precipitation will not necessarily increase the amount of water available for drinking, irrigation, and industry

Higher elevations cause temperatures to drop because the higher up in the atmosphere you go, the colder it gets due to air pressure, in turn causing precipitation to freeze, creating snow. Lower elevations are a lot warmer because the air pressure is not as pressurized causing the temperature to be warmer

Are the noble gases considered inert or reactive? Why?
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Noble gases are considered as Inert because they are unreactive.

Explanation:

Seven noble elments are known to us , they are: helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, radon, and oganesson. Noble gases have 8 electrons in their outermost shell and hence their valence shell is complete, they donot need further electrons to complete their octet so they are unreactive. Also they posses following properties.

3. Which change of state involves adding thermal energy to a substance!
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

A) Melting

Explanation:

The three changes of phase described in this problem are:

  • Melting: melting occurs when a substance in solid state turns into liquid state. Since molecules in liquid state have more energy than molecules in solid state (because in liquids, molecules can slide past each other, while in solids they can't move, but only vibrate), thermal energy must be added in order to melt a substance
  • Freezing: freezing occurs when a liquid substance turns into solid state (the opposite of melting). Since molecules in liquid state have more energy than molecules in solid state, thermal energy must be removed from the substance in order to cause freezing
  • Condensation: condensation occurs when a gaseous substance turns into liquid state. Since molecules in gaseous state have more energy than molecules in liquid state, thermal energy must be removed from the substance in order to cause condensation

So the correct option is

A) melting
