Aluminum and titanium were do you get from?
You extract it form its ore. For titanium you use the kroll process and for aluminum you use electrolysis.
How do you extract aluminium from Aluminium Oxide?
by using electrolysis
Why is potassium difficult to extract?
Potassium is difficult to extract from its ore even through electrolysis, because it is very reactive
How is hydrogen gathered?
we extract it from fossil fuelsHydrogen is obtained by the electrolysis of water.
Which common way of extracting metals is the most expensive?
it is to extract the metal by electrolysis
What process is used to extract a aluminum?
Electrolysis

What method would you use to extract aluminum from its ore?
Aluminum is found in an ore called Bauxite. Bauxite is made up of two compounds: Iron(III) Oxide Fe2O3 and Aluminum Oxide Al2O3.Aluminum Oxide is amphoteric (reacts with acids and bases) while Iron(III) Oxide is basic (reacts only with basis). So here are the steps:Bauxite is crushed to increase surface area.Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) is made to react with the crushed Bauxite.Al2O3 dissolves forming Sodium AluminateFe2O3 is basic and is insoluble in the alkali.Filter the mixture to remove the insoluble Fe2O3 to get pure Al2O3 (Alumina)Electrolysis to obtain Aluminum, balanced equation:2Al2O3 ---> 4Al + 3O2Al3+ + 2e- --> AlO2- --> O + 2e-

Which ore is aluminum extract from?
which ore is aluminum extracted from
Can you heat the mixture of carbon and aluminum oxide to extract aluminum?
no

it is to extract the metal by electrolysis
Why is electrolysis used to extract certain metals?
Electrolysis can be used for the following purposes:Electroplating a baser metal with a more attractive metal. e.g. electroplating brass with goldRefining of impure metals. e.g. to remove impurities from copperElectrometallurgy - to extract metals from their compounds
What are the chemical properties of aluminum?
Well aluminum is used as you probably know to build planes. It has a low density, it's melting point is about 660 degrees celsius and it's boiling point is 2467 degrees celsius. It's atomic number is 13 and it's atomic mass is around 27 g. It has a resistance to oxidation and is extracted from it's ore by electrolysis. This method is very expensive as it uses lots of electricity but is the best way to extract it. Aluminum is quite reactive which is why it uses electrolysis.
