Aluminum is mined as the mineral bauxite which consists


Aluminum is mined as the mineral bauxite, which consists primarily of Al2O3 (alumina). The aluminum can be refined by heating the bauxite to drive off the oxygen:

2Al2O3(s) ----> 4Al(s) + 3O2(g)

Part a) the aluminum produced from 2.60 x 10^3 kg of Al2O3 is 1.38 x 10^3 kg.

The oxygen produced in part a) is allowed to react with carbon to produce carbon monoxide. write a balanced equation describing the reaction of alumina with carbon.

How much CO is produced from the alumina in part a?
