The mass of carbon anode consumed (giving only carbon dioxide) in the production of `270 kg` of aluminium metal from bauxite by the Hall process is

A

180 kg

B

270 kg

C

540 kg

D

90 kg

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`2Al_(2)O_(3) + 3C to 4 Al + 3CO_(2)`
`4 xx 27` kg of Al consumes C of anode
`=3 xx 12 = 36` kg
Production of 270 kg of Al consumes C of anode
`=36/(4 xx 27) xx 270 = 90` kg
