How much electricity in terms of Faraday is required to produce
40.0 g of Al from molten Al2O3?
or
Charge on Al in Al2O3
2Al + 3O = 0
Oxygen has –2
2Al +3(–2) = 0
Al = 3
Change transfer n = 3
Charge required for 1 mol of Al = 3F
Number of moles of Al = 40 /27 = 1.48
The electricity required to produce 1.48 mol of Al = 1.48 × 3 F
= 4.44 F
