1 mole of aluminum oxide has a molecular weight of 102 grams (Al=27 grams and O=16 grams). It means that for 1000 kg of compound you can get 529 kilograms of aluminum (in pure quality). The ratio is $=54/102=0.529$

For 6.7 tons it means $0.529*6.7=3.544$ tons or $3544$ kg of aluminum you can get.

If the coal is burned in a power plant that uses 2000 tons of coal per day, what mass of calcium oxide is required daily to eliminate the sulfur dioxide? How many grams of calcium sulfite are produced daily by this power plant?

$SO_2(g) + CaO(s) rarr CaSO_3(s)$ $"1 US ton"$ $=$ $907.19*kg$ $"Mass of coal(kg)"$ $=$ $2000*"ton"xx907*kg*"ton"^-1$ $=$ $1.814xx10^6*kg$. $"Mass of sulfur"$ $=$ $1.814xx10^6*kgxx2.5%$ $=$ $45,350*kg$ $"Moles of sulfur"$ $=$ $(45,350*kgxx10^3*g*kg^-1)/(32.06*g*mol^-1)$ $=$...

Compare the mineral halite (NaCl, hardness of 2.5) to diamond which is pure carbon chemically bonded to itself in a network. Are the mineral's chemical bonds covalent, polar covalent, or ionic? Which mineral is harder?

On Mohs scale, isn't diamond assigned a $10$ on the basis of hardness? Halite is almost a purely ionic material.

Iron oxide reacts with aluminum to give aluminum oxide and iron. What kind of chemical reaction is this?

This is because aluminium molecule does not give anything to iron but iron gives its oxide atom to alimunium. So only one or single molecule that is iron oxide displaces...

When a 14.2-g sample of mercury (II) oxide is decomposed into its elements by heating, 13.2 g Hg is obtained. What is the percent composition of the compound?

Mercuric oxide decomposes to the mercury and oxygen. Dividing the weight of the mercury (13.2 g) by the weight of the oxide before heating (14.2 g), and using three significant...

If you mixed 80 tons of sand, 12 tons of rock, and 4.0 tons of cement to make concrete, what would the percent by weight of sand be?

The mass percent of a component in a mixture is given by the formula $color(blue)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a) "Mass Percent" = "Mass of component"/"Mass of mixture" × 100 % color(white)(a/a)|)))" "$...

Iron can be extracted from iron(III) oxide by heating it with coke (carbon). The other product in the extraction reaction is carbon dioxide. What mass of iron is produced by reacting 550g of iron(III) oxide with 60g of coke?

Balanced Equation $"2Fe"_2"O"_3 + "3C"$$rarr$$"4Fe + 3CO"_2$ This is a limiting reactant question. The maximum amount of $"Fe"$ that can be produced is determined by the limiting reactant. We have...

Ferric oxide may be reduced to pure iron either with carbon monoxide or with coke (pure carbon). Suppose that 150.0 lb of ferric oxide are available. How many pounds of carbon monoxide would be required to reduce the oxide?

The answer relates to the stoichiometric equation, which tells us that $159.7*g$ $Fe_2O_3$ reacts with $84.0*g$ $CO$ to give $112*g$ $Fe$. You have $150*"lbs"xx454*g*"lb"^-1$ $=$ $68,100*g$ $Fe_2O_3$. Given the equations...

30000 tonnes of a copper ore containing 6.5% chalcopyrite was mined. Calculate the theoretical yield of copper that could be extracted from this ore (in tonnes)?

And thus percentage mass of copper in chalcopyrite is: $(63.55*g*mol^-1)/((63.55+55.8+2xx32.06)*g*mol^-1)xx100%$ $34.6%$ $"by mass."$ But, the ore contains ONLY $6.5%$ by mass of copper in this ore...... And thus, the mass...
