Explain what is the rate of formation of aluminum

Reference no: EM13332555

The electrolysis of molten A12O3 at 980 ºC is used to produce metallic aluminum. A current of 658 A is used in the electrolysis cell. What is the rate of formation of aluminum, in kilograms per hour? Answer is 0.221 kg/hr For the above current at 3.21 V, how much electrical energy (in kw-hr) is consumed in the production of 1 kg of aluminum? (A kW-hr is 3.6 x106 J.)
