Aluminum metal can be recycled from scrap metal by melting the metal to evaporate impurities. a. Calculate the amount of heat needed to purify 1.00 mole of Al originally at 298 K by melting it. The melting point of Al is 933 K. The molar heat capacity of Al is 24 J/(mol K), and the heat of fusion of Al is 10.7 kJ/mol.
