Al(2)O(3) is reduced by electrolysis at ...

`Al_(2)O_(3)` is reduced by electrolysis at low potentials and high current. If `4.0 xx 10^(4)` amperes of currernt is passed through molten `Al_(2)O_(3)` for 6 hours, what mass of aluminium is produced? (Assume 100 % current efficiency, At. Mass of `Al = 27 u`)

`9.0xx10^(3)g`

`8.1xx10^(4)g`

`2.4xx10^(5)g`

`1.3xx10^(4)g`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

Total current=`4.0xx10^(4)xx6xx60xx60C`
96500 C liberates 9g of Al (1g. Eq)
`(4xx10^(4)xx6xx60xx60)C` liberates `8.1xx10^(4)g` of Al.
