6. Calculate the current in amperes required to produce 18.0g of aluminium

in 1.50 hours (Al=27, 1F = 96500C)

THE CURRENT REQUIRED TO PRODUCE 193000 C OF ELECTRICITY IS 35.74 A.

Explanation:

Equation:

Al3+ + 3e- > Al

3 F of electricity is required to produce 1 mole of Al

3 F of electricity = 27 g of Al

If 18 g of aluminium was used, the quantity of electricity to be used up will be:

27 g of AL = 3 * 96500 C

18 G of Al = x C

x C = ( 3 * 96500 * 18 / 27)

x C = 193 000 C

For 18 g of Al to be produced, 193000 C of electricity is required.

To calculate the current required to produce 193 000 C quantity of electricity, we use:

Q = I t

Quantity of electricity = Current * time

193 00 = I * 1.50 * 60 * 60 seconds

I = 193 000 / 1.50 * 60 *60

I = 193 000 / 5400

I = 35.74 A

The cuurent required to produce 193,000 C of electricity by 18 g of aluminium is 35.74 A

number of molecules / avogadro's number * molecule molecular = mass

explanation:

we define a gram-molecular weight as the mass of one mole of any element or compound. a mole contains avogadro's number of units (molecules) –  

6.022

x

10

23

. so, dividing the number of molecules by avogadro's number gives us the number of moles. multiplying that by the molecular weight gives us the mass. from the periodic table we find the gram-molecular weight of u to be238 and of f to be19. so,  

u

f

will have a gram-molecular weight of 352g.
