The correct Answer is:
To determine which reaction is not involved in Serpeck's process of leaching of Al2O3 from white bauxite ore, we will analyze the reactions involved in the process. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding White Bauxite Ore**: - White bauxite ore primarily consists of Al2O3 (alumina) and contains silica (SiO2) as an impurity. 2. **Overview of the Serpeck Process**: - The Serpeck process is used to extract aluminum from bauxite ore. It involves several key reactions. 3. **First Reaction**: - The powdered bauxite is mixed with carbon and heated in the presence of nitrogen. This reaction produces aluminum nitride (AlN). - Reaction: \[ Al_2O_3 \cdot 2H_2O + C + N_2 \rightarrow AlN + 3CO + 2H_2O \] 4. **Second Reaction**: - Aluminum nitride is hydrolyzed with water to form aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH)3). - Reaction: \[ AlN + 6H_2O \rightarrow 2NH_3 + Al(OH)_3 \] 5. **Third Reaction**: - Aluminum hydroxide is then washed, filtered, and heated to yield alumina (Al2O3). - Reaction: \[ Al(OH)_3 \rightarrow Al_2O_3 + H_2O \] 6. **Fourth Reaction**: - Silica (SiO2) reacts with carbon to form silicon (Si) and carbon monoxide (CO). This reaction helps in removing silica as a volatile product. - Reaction: \[ SiO_2 + C \rightarrow Si + 2O \] 7. **Identifying the Reaction Not Involved**: - The question asks which of the following reactions is not part of the Serpeck process. The reactions involving aluminum nitride, aluminum hydroxide, and silica are all part of the process. - However, the reaction involving sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and aluminum oxide (Al2O3) is not part of the Serpeck process. ### Conclusion: The reaction that is not involved in the Serpeck process is: \[ Na_2CO_3 + Al_2O_3 \text{ (This reaction does not occur in the Serpeck process)} \]
