    In the electrolytic method of obtaining aluminium from purified bauxite, Cryolite is added to the charge in order to :

    A)  minimise the heat loss due to radiation

    B)  protect aluminium produced from oxygen

    C)  dissolve bauxite and render it conductor of electricity

    D)  lower the melting point of bauxite

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Cryolite \[(N{{a}_{3}}Al{{F}_{6}})\] is added to alumina for its  electrolysis to decrease its melting point and also to increase its conductivity.
