The element which could be extracted by electrolytic reduction of its oxide diss
The element which could be extracted by electrolytic reduction of its oxide dissolved in a high temperature melt is:
- A. sodium
- B. magnesium
- C. flourine
- D. aluminium
Step-by-step solution
Aluminium is extracted via the Hall-Heroult process, which involves electrolytic reduction of alumina (Al2O3) dissolved in molten cryolite at high temperature. Sodium and magnesium are extracted by electrolysis of their molten chlorides, not oxides, and fluorine is extracted from molten fluorides.
