Aluminum is the most abundant metal in the earth’s crust. It is also a common household utensilmetal. The extraction of Aluminum from its ore is expensive because the metallurgy uses a veryhigh amount of electricity. The extraction of Aluminum metal takes place in a number of steps,which may be summarized below.Step 1: Washing and mechanical processes employed to the ore to remove basic impurities.Step 2: Conversion of Aluminum ore (Bauxite) to powdered Alumina (Al2O3) by reaction withconcentrated NaOH solution.Step 3: Dissolving Alumina in molten Cryolite(Na3AlF6)Step 4: Electrolytic refining of the solution at step 2. (Diagram below) to form pure Aluminummetal.Step 5: Collecting pure molten Aluminum at the cathode, which change later to solid Aluminummetal.As you observed, many changes are taking place in different steps for the above extractionprocess. Classify them as physical or chemical change and explain why?a) Step 1 __________________________________________b) Step 2…

Cast Iron is an alloy composed primarily of iron together with smaller amounts of other elements, including carbon, silicon, sulfur, and phosphorous. The carbon occurs as graphite, which is soft, or iron carbide, which is very hard and brittle. The type of cast iron produced is determined by the amount and distribution of carbon in the iron. Five types of iron are identifiable. These are gray, compacted graphite, ductile, malleable, and white. In Malleable cast iron the carbon is present as discrete graphite particles. Assume that in a particular casting these particles average 20 per square inch. Would it be unusual to see a 0.25-inch-square area of this casting with fewer than two graphite particles? Explain, based in the probability involved.

Metallic titanium and its alloys (especially those with aluminum and vanadium) combine the advantages of high strength and lightweight and are therefore used widely in the aerospace industry for the bodies and engines of airplanes (Figure 2.4). The major natural source for titanium is the ore rutile, which contains titanium dioxide (TiO2).(a) An intermediate in the preparation of elemental titanium from TiO2 is avolatile chloride of titanium (boiling point 136°C) that contains 25.24%titanium by mass. Determine the empirical formula of this compound.(b) At 136°C and atmospheric pressure, the density of this gaseous chloride is 5.6 g L-1 . Under the same conditions, the density of gaseous nitrogen (N2, molar mass 28.0 g mol-1 ) is 0.83 g L-1 .
