NEETChemistryGeneral Principles and Processes of Isolation of Metals
Why is magnesium metal not used for the reduction of alumina in the metallurgy of aluminum, despite being thermodynamically feasible?
Options
- AThe process requires extremely high temperatures.
- BThe process results in low purity of aluminum.
- CThe process is economically impractical, as it would be cost-prohibitive to operate at the required temperatur
- DThe process produces hazardous by-products.
Correct answer
C. The process is economically impractical, as it would be cost-prohibitive to operate at the required temperatur
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (C) The process is economically impractical, as it would be cost-prohibitive to operate at the required temperatures.
