Bauxite must go through two processes to produce aluminum metal. The yield of the Bayer process, which extracts aluminum oxide f

rom bauxite, is 40 percent The yield of converting aluminum oxide to aluminum is 50 percent. Determine the yield in grams of aluminum from one cubic meter of bauxite ore.

The yield of aluminium obtained from 1 m^3 of bauxite is 419810 g

<h3>What is a Percent yield</h3>

A percent yield of a substance measures the amount of the substance actually obtained as a percentage ratio of expected yield.

Percent yield = actual yield / expected yield × 100%

<h3>How to calculate the mass of aluminium obtained from bauxite </h3>

From the data given:

40 % of the bauxite is converted to aluminium oxide.

Volume of bauxite = 1 m^3

40 % of 1 m^3 = 0.4 m^3

volume of aluminium oxide = 0.4 m^3

density of aluminium oxide = 3965 kg/m^3

  • Using mass = density × volume

mass of aluminium oxide = 0.4 × 3965 kg

mass of aluminium oxide = 1586 kg

Formula of aluminium oxide is Al203

molar mass of aluminium oxide = 102 g

  • percentage mass of aluminium in one mole of aluminium oxide = mass of aluminium / mass of aluminium oxide × 100 %

Percentage mass of aluminium in aluminium oxide = 54/102 × 100

Percentage mass of aluminium in aluminium oxide = 52.94 %

Expected mass of aluminium from aluminium oxide = 52.94 × 1586

Expected mass of aluminium = 839.62 kg

Actual yield = 40 % × 839.62

Actual yield of aluminium = 419.81 kg

mass of aluminium in grams = 419810 g

Therefore, mass of aluminium obtained from 1 m^3 of bauxite is 419810 g

How did Henry Moseley revise Mendeleev's periodic table? (Please answer A.S.A.P.)
CaHeK987 [17]
<span>If you give it a good search, the most used answer would probably be as follows,

</span><span>In 1914 Henry Moseley found a relationship between an element's X-ray wavelength and its atomic number (Z), and therefore rearranged the table by nuclear charge / atomic number rather than atomic weight. Before this discovery, atomic numbers were just sequential numbers based on an element's atomic weight. Moseley's discovery showed that atomic numbers had an experimentally measurable basis.
