The requirement of electrical energy for the production of Aluminum from Aluminum oxide is given. The comparison between the energy required for producing Aluminum from Aluminum oxide and the energy for melting Aluminum and the reason behind the economical feasibility of recycling Aluminum cans is to be stated. Concept introduction: For melting of any substance some specific amount of heat is required. Therefore, the amount of heat that is required for melting one mole of substance and that too at its melting point is called the heat of fusion. To determine: The comparison between the energy required for producing Aluminum from Aluminum oxide and the energy for melting Aluminum and the reason behind the economical feasibility of recycling Aluminum cans. The amount of electrical energy required to produce Aluminum from Aluminum oxide is 54 × 10 6 J . The amount of energy required to melt Aluminum metal is 395.9 × 10 3 J . The energy for melting Aluminum is lower than the energy required for producing Aluminum from Aluminum oxide. The requirement of lower energy for melting Aluminum than required to produce Aluminum from Aluminum oxide makes it an economically feasible process.

2. Platinum and other group 10 metals often act as solid phase hydrogenation catalysts for
unsaturated hydrocarbons such as propylene, CH3CHCH2. In order for the reaction to be
catalyzed the propylene molecules must first adsorb onto the surface. In order to completely
cover the surface of a piece of platinum that has an area of 1.50 cm² with propylene, a total
of 3.45 x 10¹7 molecules are needed. Determine the mass of the propylene molecules that
have been absorbed onto the platinum surface.

2. (a) Many main group oxides form acidic solutions when added to water. For example solid
tetraphosphorous decaoxide reacts with water to produce phosphoric acid. Write a balanced
chemical equation for this reaction.
(b) Calcium phosphate reacts with silicon dioxide and carbon graphite at elevated temperatures
to produce white phosphorous (P4) as a gas along with calcium silicate (Silcate ion is SiO3²-)
and carbon monoxide. Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction.
