Aluminium oxide may be electrolysed at 1000°C to furnish aluminium metal (Atomic mass = 27 u; 1 F = 96500 C/mol).  The cathode reaction is:

\(\mathrm{Al}^{3+}+3 \mathrm{e}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{Al}\)

To prepare 5.12 kg of aluminium metal by this method would require:

  1. 5.49 \(x\) 101 C of electricity
  2. 5.49 \(x\) 104 C of electricity
  3. 1.83 \(x\) 107 C of electricity
  4. 5.49 \(x\) 107 C of electricity

Answer

(D) 5.49 x 10 7 C of electricity
