For each of the substance listed below. Describe the role played in the extraction of aluminium.

(1) Cryolite: 

(2) sodium hydroxide

(3) Graphite

Solution

(1) Cryolite: to reduce the melting point of alumina and increase the conductivity of the solution.

(2) sodium hydroxide: for purification of bauxite ore as a leaching agent.

(3) Graphite: As anode and make the reduction of Al2O3 easier.

 Explain why:
(1) In the electrolysis of alumina using the Hall Heroult’s process the electrolyte.

(2) Iron sheets are coated with zinc during galvanization.

Solution

1) An electrolyte is covered with powdered coke to prevent heat loss from the molten electrolyte.
