Chapter 11, Problem 90E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:Comparison of value of amount of energy required to melt 1.0 kg Al metal with energy required to produce Al metal from aluminum oxide should be determined. Also, feasibility of aluminum to recycle should be explained.

Concept introduction:Electrolysis is method to transform electrical energy into chemical energy. Electrolytic cells transform electric energy into a chemical energy. In these cells, non-spontaneous reactions occur so energy is supplied for their occurrence. These cells have positive anode and negative cathode.

About 50,000 kJ of electrical energy is required to produce 1.0 kg of Al from its Al(OH)3 ore. The major energy cost in recycling aluminum cans is the melting of the aluminum. The enthalpy of fusion of Al(s) is 10.7 kJ mol-1.Compare the energy cost for making new aluminum with that for recycling.
calculate the amount of energy required to make 235 g of aluminum at a smelting temperature of 658°C
29) a 2.50 g sample of gallium absorbe 4.56 x 10^-3 kj of heat upon heating. What is the change of temperature in unit of degree Celsius of the gallium sample? Specific heat of gallium is 0.372 J/g °C
