Aluminum is made by thermally decomposing bauxite (Al2O3) into its constituent elements, based on the reaction below. How much energy is required to produce grams of aluminum?
Al2O3(s)---> 2Al(s)+ 3/2O2(g) (delta) Hrxn=1676J
Answer. From the given equation we can say 2 moles of aluminium is produced by using 1676 J of energy.
this means 1676 J of energy is sufficient to produce 54 grams of aluminium.
1676 /54 =31.04 J of energy is required toproduce one gram of aluminium.
31.04x2 =62.07 J is energy is required to produce grams of aluminium.
27x31.04 =838.08 J energy is required toproduce 27 grams of aluminium.
31.04 x100=3104Jenergy is required toproduce hundred grams of aluminium.
