The Hall process for the production of aluminum involves the reaction of aluminum oxide with elemental carbon to give aluminum metal and carbon monoxide. If the yield of this reaction is 82% and aluminum ore is 71% by mass aluminum oxide, what mass of aluminum ore must be mined in order to produce 1.0 x 10 kg (1 metric ton) of aluminum metal by the Hall process?

Melamine, C3 N3 (NH2)3, is used in adhesives and resins. It is manufactured in a two-step process in which urea, CO (NH₂)2, is the sole starting material, isocyanic acid, HNCO, is an intermediate, and ammonia, NH3, and carbon dioxide, CO2, gases are byproducts. In the first step of this reaction, urea is broken down into isocyanic acid and ammonia: ▼ Part A CO(NH2)2(1)—HNCO(1)+NH3(g) In the second step of this reaction, isocyanic acid reacts to form melamine and carbon dioxide: HNCO (1)→C3 N3 (NH2)3 (1) + CO2(g) Balance this reaction and enter the coefficients below. Enter the coefficients in order separated by commas (e.g., 1, 4, 5, where 1 indicates the lack of a coefficient). View Available Hint(s) Rev
