What mass of aluminum metal can be produced per hour in the electrolysis of a molten aluminum salt by a current of 25 $\mathrm{A}$ ?
Added by Brenda R.
Step 1
First, we need to know the reaction of aluminum in electrolysis. The reaction is: AlĀ³āŗ + 3eā» ā Al. This means that 3 moles of electrons are needed to produce 1 mole of aluminum. Show moreā¦
