    Aluminium is extracted from alumina \[(A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}})\] by electrolysis of a molten mixture of [AIPMT (S) 2012]

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

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

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

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

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Alumina, , is a bad conductor of electricity and has very high melting point, so before subjecting to electrolysis, it is mixed with fluorspar () and cryolite (), which lower its melting point and make it more conducting.
