Al2O3 is reduced by electrolysis at low potentials and high currents. If 4.0 104 amperes of current is passed through molten Al2O3 for 6 hours, what mass of aluminium is product? (Assume 100% current efficiency, at mass of Al = 27 g mol1).
- A8.1 104 g
- B2.4 105 g
- C1.3 104 g
- D9.0 103 g

Correct answer: A
E = Z × 96500
= Z 96500
Z =
Now applying the formula, W = Z × I × t
W = 4 104 6 60 60
= 8.1 × 104 g
