Answer to Problem 1E

The oxidation of aluminum to produce aluminum oxide is highly exothermic. So, in this lesson this reaction is the best source of energy.

Explanation of Solution

Oxidation reactions are good source of energy because they are always exothermic. So, oxidation reactions are a potential source of energy for our daily lives. To explore the usefulness of metal oxidation as an energy source, we must examine and compare the amount of thermal energy transferred during these reactions.

  Living by Chemistry, Chapter U5.109, Problem 1E

Decomposition of aluminum oxide is highly endothermic. A large amount of energy is required to extract pure aluminum from aluminum oxide.

Conclusion

The oxidation of aluminum to produce aluminum oxide is the best source of energy.
