    The reduction of an oxide by aluminium is called

    A) Krolls process

    B) van Arkel process

    C) Ellingham process

    D) Goldschmidts aluminothermite process

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    In Goldschmidts alumino thermite process, is used when a high temperature is needed for carbon to reduce an oxide. In this process a large amount of energy \[(1675\,kJ\,mo{{l}^{-}})\] is liberated on oxidation to \[\text{A}{{\text{l}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}\text{.}\] (a)\[3M{{n}_{3}}{{O}_{4}}+8Al\xrightarrow{{}}9Mn+4A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}\] (b) \[{{B}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}+2Al\xrightarrow{{}}2B+A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}\] (c) \[C{{r}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}+2Al\xrightarrow{{}}2Cr+A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}\]
