Q

Why is coke a good reducing agent when extracting metals?

A

It is cheaply obtained by heating coal in the absence of air. But for some metals the temperature required for reaction with carbon is so high that that the process is uneconomic. Also at high temperature reactive metals react with carbon to form carbides.

11
Q

Describe iron extractions and the chemical equations included in it.

A

At the bottom of the furnace the coke burns in a blast of hot air. Heat is generated by this exoteric process so that the temperature is around 2000K. The carbon dioxide reacts with more carbon to form carbon monoxide.
C (s) + O2 (g) —> CO2 (g)
CO2 (g) + C (s) —> 2CO (g)

The carbon monoxide is the reducing agent. It reacts with the iron oxide to produce molten iron.

Fe2O3 (s) + 3CO2 (g) —> 2Fe (l) + 3CO2 (g)

Q

Why is Reduction with scrap iron economically sensible?

A

The price of copper is much greater than iron and no carbon dioxide is produced in the extraction process and it uses much less energy than it takes in (but remember iron had to be extracted initially which takes energy).

Q

How is aluminium extracted?

A

Aluminium oxide is dissolved in molten cryolite Na3AlF6 to form a solution which melts at around 1240K, compared with the melting temperature of pure aluminium oxide 2345K. It is electrolysed in rows of cells.

Q

Is the extraction of aluminum continuous?

A

Yes, the extraction of aluminium is continuous.

24
Q

How is the solution of aluminium oxide kept molten in aluminium extraction?

A

By the heat generated by the flow of current

25
Q

How is extracted aluminium formed?

A

As a liquid and it is siphoned off

26
Q

The oxygen burns the carbon electrodes away to form….

A

Carbon dioxide (they must be replaced often)

27
Q

What is the main cost of aluminium extraction?

A

The electricity used to do it.

28
Q

What are useful properties of aluminium?

A

It is strong low density and resistant to corrosion

29
Q

Why can’t titanium oxide be reduced with carbon?

A

Titanium carbide forms - brittle

30
Q

How is titanium extracted?

A

By the reduction with a more reactive metal (sodium or magnesium)

31
Q

Why is aluminium extraction so expensive?

A

It requires electrolysed magnesium/sodium and it involves two different processes.

32
Q

What is the titanium ore?

A

Rutile (titanium 4 oxide)

33
Q

How is rutile converted to titanium chloride?

A

Rutile is converted to titanium (4) chloride by reacting it with coke and chlorine at 1173K:
TiO2 (s) + 2C (s) + 2Cl2 (g) —-> TiCl4 (l) + 2CO (g)

34
Q

How is titanium chloride purified?

A

By distillation

35
Q

I what happens in the second stage of titanium extraction?

A

Titanium chloride is reduced with molten sodium (or sodium) under an inert argon atmosphere at 1300K. The argon is needed to prevent the metals from reacting with nitrogen and oxygen in the air.
TiCl4 (l) + 4Na (l) —-> Ti (l) + 4NaCl (l)

36
Q

What kind of process is titanium extraction?

A

Batch process - less efficient - the reaction vessels have to be heated back up to operating temperature after the batch is removed.

A

Hydrogen

41
Q

List three advantages of recycling scrap iron.

A
  • This reduces the scrap iron in landfill sites.
  • Scrap iron has already been extracted from its ore, it can also easily be separated from other material because it is magnetic.
  • the process of melting scrap iron does not in itself produce carbon dioxide whereas extracting iron from its ore does.
42
Q

List three advantages of recycling aluminium.

A

Recycled aluminium uses only about 5% of the enormous amount of energy used to extract aluminium from its ore.

Recycling avoids the production of large amounts of CO2.
