*Answer:

Option A: 59.6

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of aluminium = 4.00 kg

The applied emf = 5.00 V

watts = volts * amperes

Step 2: Calculate amperes

equivalent mass of aluminum = 27 / 3 = 9  

mass of deposit = (equivalent mass x amperes x seconds) / 96500

4000 grams = (9* amperes * seconds) / 96500

amperes * seconds = 42888888.9

1 hour = 3600 seconds

amperes * hours = 42888888.9 / 3600 = 11913.6

amperes = 11913.6 / hours

Step 3: Calculate kilowatts

watts = 5 * 11913.6 / hours

watts = 59568 (per hour)

kilowatts = 59.6 (per hour)

The number of kilowatt-hours of electricity required to produce 4.00kg of aluminum from electrolysis of compounds from bauxite is 59.6 kWh when the applied emf is 5.00V
