Production of Aluminum
The major source of the world’s aluminum is bauxite (Al2O3). Its thermal decomposition is represented by the reaction below. If aluminum were produced in this way, how many grams of aluminum can be produced from 1.000 x 103 kJ of energy?
Al2O3(s) ----> 2Al(s)+(3/2)O2(g) DH = 1676 kJ
