MCQ
Aluminium is obtained by
  • A
    Reducing $A{l_2}{O_3}$ with coke
  • Electrolysing $A{l_2}{O_3}$ dissolved in $N{a_3}Al{F_6}$
  • C
    Reducing $A{l_2}{O_3}$ with chromium
  • D
    Heating alumina and cryolite

Answer

Correct option: B.
Electrolysing $A{l_2}{O_3}$ dissolved in $N{a_3}Al{F_6}$
b
Aluminium is obtained by electrolising alumina dissolved in cryolite $\left( Na _3 AlF _6\right)$

$4 Na _3 AlF _6 \leftrightharpoons 12 Na ^{+}+4 Al ^{3+}+12 F ^{-}$

$4 Al ^{3+}+12 e ^{-} \rightarrow 4 Al \text { (at cathode) }$

$12 F ^{-} \rightarrow 6 F _2+12 e ^{-} \text {(at anode) }$

$2 Al _2 O _3+6 F _2 \rightarrow AlF _3+3 O _2$
