At 1200 K, per mole of , values (in ) are for and for . If aluminothermy is feasible at 1200 K, the mass of pure aluminium needed to reduce of (Cr 52, O 16, Al 27) completely is

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. Dnot feasible, since has the higher

Answer: B

For , , which is negative, so the reduction is feasible. has molar mass 152, so 152 kg is 1 kmol, needing 2 kmol Al kg. At purity the mass is .
