In the Hall-Heroult process, a large electric current is passed through a solution of aluminum oxide (Al,03) dissolved in molten cryolite (Na,AlF), resulting in the reduction of the Al,0, to pure aluminum. Suppose a current of 6100. A is passed through a Hall-Heroult cell for 64.0 seconds. Calculate the mass of pure aluminum produced. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol and the correct number of significant digits.
