- Aluminum is produced commercially by the electrolysis of Al2O3 in the presence of a molten salt. If a plant has a continuous capacity of 1.00 million A, what mass of aluminum can be produced in 2.00 h?arrow_forwardPhosphorous acid, H3PO3, is oxidized to phosphoric acid, H3PO4, by nitric acid, which is reduced to nitrogen monoxide, NO. Write the balanced equation for this reaction.arrow_forward4.48 Elemental phosphorous is used in the semiconductor industry. It can be obtained from an ore called fluoroapatite via reaction with SiO2 and C: 4Ca5( PO4)3F+18SiO2+30C3P4+30CO+18CaSiO3+2CaF2 Suppose a particular semiconductor production plant requires 1500 kg of P4. If the recovery of P4 from this reaction is 73% efficient, what mass of fluoroapatite is needed?arrow_forward

The balanced equation is: CaH2(s)+2H2O(l)Ca(OH)2(aq)+2H2(g)arrow_forwardWould you expect potassium perchlorate, KClO4(aq), in a concentrated acidic solution to act as an oxidizing agent or as a reducing agent?arrow_forwardThe elements sodium, aluminum, and chlorine are in the same period.(a) Which has the greatest electronegativity?(b) Which of the atoms is smallest?(c) Write the Lewis structure for the simplest covalent compound that can form between aluminum and chlorine.(d) Will the oxide of each element be acidic, basic, or amphoteric?arrow_forward
- Give the chemical equation for the reaction of white phosphorus in an excess of air.Use the lowest possible coefficients. Be sure to specify states such as (aq) or (s). If a box is not needed, leave it blank.)Give the chemical equation for the reaction of the product of the previous reaction with water.arrow_forwardLooking up one snowy afternoon from a book titled The Moral Case Against Turning Lead Into Gold (Or Vice Versa), your friend Maria (an expert chemist) says this: "Metal sulfides roasted with oxygen produce the corresponding oxide and sulfur dioxide gas." Using Maria's statement, and what you already know about chemistry, predict the products of the following reaction. Be sure your chemical equation is balanced! NiS (s) + O₂(g) → 0-0 0+0 X 00 NO REACTION Sarrow_forwardI need a step by step explanation for this question.arrow_forward

This reaction will go to completion without the need for a catalyst like MnO2 with potassium chlorate. Based on this information, which element, gold or chlorine, more readily is reduced in these reactions? Explain.arrow_forwardPhosphoric acid, one of the acids used in some cola drinks, is produced by the reaction of phosphorus(V) oxide, an acidic oxide, with water.
