Writing the net equation The extraction of aluminum metal from the aluminum hydroxide in bauxite ore by the Hall-Héroult process is one of the most remarkable success stories of late 19th century practical chemistry, turning aluminum from a rare and precious metal into the cheap commodity it is today. In the first step, aluminum hydroxide reacts to form alumina and water: 2 Al(OH)3(s)-Al₂O3(s) + 3H₂O(g) In the second step, alumina and carbon react to form aluminum and carbon dioxide: 2 ALO,(s)+3 C(s)-4 Al(s) + 3 CO₂(g) Write the net 'chemical equation for the production of aluminum from aluminum hydroxide and carbon. Be sure your equation is balanced. The Co Op alo

Melamine, C3 N3 (NH2)3, is used in adhesives and resins. It is manufactured in a two-step process in which urea, CO (NH₂)2, is the sole starting material, isocyanic acid, HNCO, is an intermediate, and ammonia, NH3, and carbon dioxide, CO2, gases are byproducts. In the first step of this reaction, urea is broken down into isocyanic acid and ammonia: ▼ Part A CO(NH2)2(1)—HNCO(1)+NH3(g) In the second step of this reaction, isocyanic acid reacts to form melamine and carbon dioxide: HNCO (1)→C3 N3 (NH2)3 (1) + CO2(g) Balance this reaction and enter the coefficients below. Enter the coefficients in order separated by commas (e.g., 1, 4, 5, where 1 indicates the lack of a coefficient). View Available Hint(s) Rev
