$Al_2O_3$ is reduced by electrolysis at low potentials and high currents. If $4.0 \times 10^4$ amperes of current is passed through molten $Al_2O_3$ for $6$ hours,what mass of aluminium is produced? (Assume $100\%$ current efficiency,at. mass of $Al = 27 \ g \ mol^{-1}$).

  • A
    $8.1 \times 10^4 \ g$
  • B
    $2.4 \times 10^5 \ g$
  • C
    $1.3 \times 10^4 \ g$
  • D
    $9.0 \times 10^3 \ g$
