Question
Chapter 21, Problem 21.43QP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Which metals would use for the production of aluminium has to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Electrolysis is the key process involved in Hall process. The smelting or separation of aluminium from its ores is done by Hall process. This is the major industrial method for smelting of aluminum. So, we use molten aluminum salt as raw material for the electrolysis process in Hall process.- By using reducing agents we can also reduce the aluminium ion into aluminium metal.

- Electrolysis of an alkaline earth metal chloride using a current of 5.00 A for 748 seconds deposits 0.471 g of metal at an electrode. Is the metal deposited at the cathode or the anode of the electrolytic cell? What is produced at the other electrode? What is the identity of the alkaline earth metal?arrow_forwardThe amount of sodium hypochlorite in a bleach solution can be determined by using a given volume of bleach to oxidize excess iodide ion to iodine; ClO- is reduced to Cl-. The amount of iodine produced by the redox reaction is determined by titration with sodium thiosulfate, Na2S2O3; I2 is reduced to I-. The sodium thiosulfate is oxidized to sodium tetrathionate, Na2S4O6. In this analysis, potassium iodide was added in excess to 5.00 mL of bleach (d=1.00g/cm3) .
