1. Aluminum is manufactured by the Hall-Heroult Process which produces aluminum from aluminum oxide in an electrolytic cell. The net reaction is:
Al3+ + 3e- –> Al(s)
You need to design a cell that will produce Al at the rate of 1 kg per hour. How many amps must your power supply produce?
…Is 1984 amps right?
Yes… I do
haha ok. I used the Moles = (Amps x seconds)/(2 x 29600)
You have to calculate how many moles of Al there are then convert an hour to seconds
I’m sorry F is 96500 not 29500
I put 37 moles. 1000g/26.98mm
Ok. Good luck on the practical tomorrow
