The extraction of aluminum metal from the aluminum hydroxide in bauxite ore by the Hall-Héroult process is one of the most remarkable success stories of late 19th century practical chemistry, turning aluminum from a rare and precious metal into the cheap commodity it is today. In the first step, aluminum hydroxide reacts to form alumina and water: 2AlOH3(s)→Al2O3(s)+3H2O(g) In the second step, alumina and carbon react to form aluminum and carbon dioxide: 2Al2O3(s)+3C(s)→4Al(s)+3CO2(g) Write the net chemical equation for the production of aluminum from aluminum hydroxide and carbon. Be sure your equation is balanced.

The net chemical equation for the  production of aluminium from aluminium hydroxide and carbon is

Explanation:

The given intermediate reactions are:

Step 1:  

Step 2:  

By combining these two above equations, we will get the net chemical equation for the production of aluminium from aluminium hydroxide and carbon.

The net chemical equation follows:

Hence, the net chemical equation for the  production of aluminium from aluminium hydroxide and carbon is
