In the extraction of aluminium by Hall-Heroult process, purified is mixed with to
(i) lower the melting point of
(ii) increase the conductivity of molten mixture.
(iii) reduce into Al(s).
(iv) acts as a catalyst
The answer is the option (i, ii) Purified is mixed with in Hall-Heroult process to lower the melting point of and increase the conductivity of the molten mixture. Hence, option a and b are correct.
