In the Hall-Heroult process, a large electric current is passed through a solution of aluminum oxide (Al,02) dissolved in molten cryolite (Na, AIF6), resulting in the reduction of the Al,O, to pure aluminum. Suppose a current of 710. A is passed through a Hall-Heroult cell for 56.0 seconds. Calculate the mass of pure aluminum produced. Round your answer to 3 significant digits. Also, be sure your answer contains a unit symbol. ロロ
