प्रश्न
Observe the figure and answer the following.
- Write the name of the method.
- What is used as anode and cathode in this method?
- Write the molecular formula and use of cryolite.
- Write anode reaction.
- Write cathode reaction.
उत्तर
- The method shown is an electrolytic reduction of alumina.
- A set of graphite rods dipped in the molten electrolyte acts as the anode. and the graphite lining acts as a cathode.
- Molecular formula of cryolite: Na3AlF6
Use of cryolite: Addition of cryolite reduces the melting point of alumina to about 1000 °C. - Anode reaction: \[\ce{2O^2+ -> O2 + 4e^-}\]
- Cathode reaction: \[\ce{Al^3+ + 3e^- -> Al_{(l)}}\]
