    Aluminium is extracted from alumina \[(A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}})\] by electrolysis of a molten mixture of

    A) \[A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}+N{{a}_{3}}Al{{F}_{6}}+Ca{{F}_{2}}\]

    B) \[A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}+KF+N{{a}_{3}}Al{{F}_{6}}\]

    C) \[A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}+HF+NaAl{{F}_{4}}\]

    D) \[A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}+Ca{{F}_{2}}+NaAl{{F}_{4}}\]  

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Extraction of Al from\[A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}\]is made by electrolytic reduction of molten mixture of alumina \[(A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}),\] cryolite\[(N{{a}_{3}}Al{{F}_{6}})\]and fluorspar \[Ca{{F}_{2}}\]in the ratio of 20 : 40 : 20 respectively.
