- Explain how the entropy of the universe increases when an aluminum metal can is made from aluminum ore. Thefirst step is to extract the ore, which is primarily a formof A12O3, from the ground. After it is purified by freeingit from oxides of silicon and iron, aluminum oxide ischanged to the metal by an input of electrical energy. 2Al2O3(s)electricalenergy4Al(s)+3O2(g)arrow_forwardTetrachloromethane (carbon tetrachloride), CCl4, has a normal boiling point of 76.7C and an enthalpy of vaporization, Hvap, of 29.82 kJ/mol. Estimate the entropy of vaporization, Svap.
