(2019 Main, 10 Jan I)

(a) $ZnO+C \xrightarrow{\text { Coke, } 1673 K} Zn+CO$

(b) $Cr _2 O _3+2 Al \longrightarrow Al _2 O _3+2 Cr$

(c) $2 Al _2 O _3+3 C \longrightarrow 4 Al+3 CO _2$

(d) $Cu^{2+}(a q)+H _2(g) \longrightarrow Cu(s)+2 H^{+}(a q)$

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. Hall-Heroult’s process is an electro-reduction process by which pure alumina $\left(Al _2 O _3\right)$ is reduced to crude $Al$.

In this process, electrolysis of a fused mixture of $Al _2 O _3$, $Na _3\left[AlF _6\right]$ (cryolite) and $CaF _2$ (fluorspar) is carried out at carbon cathode and graphite anode.

The overall reaction is represented as:

$$ 2 Al _2 O _3+3 C \longrightarrow 4 Al+3 CO _2 $$
