Aluminium is extracted from aluminium oxide by electrolysis. The equation for the reaction is:
2(Al2O3) -> 4Al + 3O2
[Ar: O = 16: Al = 27; molar volume of gases= 24000 cm^3 at r.t.p]
(a) Calculate the volume of oxygen (measured at r.t.p) produced from 1 mole of aluminium oxide
(b) Calculate the mass of aluminium oxide required to produce 5.4g of aluminium
