Question
The two metals which are extracted by means of electrolytic reduction of their molten salts are:
(a) magnesium and manganese
(b) iron and aluminium
(c) zinc and magnesium
(d) magnesium and aluminium
Solution
(d) magnesium and aluminium
This is because magnesium and aluminium are highly reactive metals and are placed high in the reactivity series. This is also due to the fact that their oxides are very stable and cannot be reduced easily.
