Al2O3\mathrm{Al}_2 \mathrm{O}_3Al2​O3​ is reduced by electrolysis at low potentials and high currents. If 4.0×1044.0 \times 10^44.0×104 amperes of current is passed through molten Al2O3\mathrm{Al}_2 \mathrm{O}_3Al2​O3​ for 6 hours, what mass of aluminium is produced ? (Assume 100% current efficiency, at. mass of Al=27 g mol−1\mathrm{Al}=27 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}Al=27 g mol−1 ) -
