Options
- Athe reaction of with coke at a temperature .
- Bthe neutralization of aluminate solution by passing gas to precipitate hydrated alumina \left({Al}_{2}{O}_{3} . 3{H}_{2}O\right)$.
- Cthe dissolution of in hot aqueous .
- Dthe electrolysis of mixed with to give and .
Correct answer
B. the neutralization of aluminate solution by passing gas to precipitate hydrated alumina \left({Al}_{2}{O}_{3} . 3{H}_{2}O\right)$.
Step-by-step solution
(A) The reduction of with coke at a temperature is not carried out due to the formation of carbides.
(B) It is correct as neutralisation of aluminate solution is done by passing gas to precipitate hydrated alumina.
(C) Reaction of powdered one is carried out with hot concentrated at bar pressure.
(D)Aluminium In the metallurgy of aluminium, purified Al2O3 is mixed with or CaF2 which lowers the melting point of the mixture and brings conductivity.Thus electrolysis of the molten mass is carried out in an electrolytic cell using carbon electrodes. The oxygen liberated at anode reacts with the carbon of anode producing CO and CO2 and Al at the cathode.
