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

HELP ASAP!! how can nuclear energy be classified as an inexhaustible energy resource??
seropon [69]

Answer:

No, and yes. As there is a finite amount of matter in the

universe, only so much can be converted to make energy. There will

be a limit, though it is a long, long way from where we are
