Al ₂ O ₃ is reduced by electrolysis at low potentials and high currents. If 4.0 10^4 amperes of current is passed through molten Al ₂ O ₃ for 6 hours, what mass of aluminium is produced ? (Assume 100 % current efficiency, at. mass of Al =27 ~g ~mol ⁻¹ ) -
Options
- A1.3 10^4 ~g
- B9.0 10^3 ~g
- C8.1 10^4 ~g
- D2.4 10^5 ~g
Correct answer
C. 8.1 10^4 ~g
