    \[A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}\] is reduced by electrolysis at low potentials and high currents. If \[4.0\times {{10}^{4}}\]  amperes of current is passed through molten \[A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}\] for 6 hours, what mass of aluminium is produced? (Assume 100% current efficiency. At. mass of\[Al=27g\text{ }mo{{l}^{-1}}\])

    A) \[8.1\times {{10}^{4}}g\]         

    B) \[2.4\times {{10}^{5}}g\]

    C) \[1.3\times {{10}^{4}}g\]         

    D) \[9.0\times {{10}^{3}}g\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] \[\therefore Q=i\times t\] \[\therefore \text{ }Q=4.0\times {{10}^{4}}\times 6\times 60\times 60C=8.64\times {{10}^{8}}C\] Now since 96500 C liberates 9 g of Al \[8.64\times {{10}^{8}}\] C liberates \[\frac{9}{96500}\times 8.64\times {{10}^{8}}g\,Al=8.1\times {{10}^{4}}g\,of\,Al\]
