In the extraction of aluminium by Hall-Heroult process, purified \text {Al}_{2}\text {O}_{3} is mixed with \text {CaF}_{2} to

(i) lower the melting point of \text {Al}_{2}\text {O}_{3}

(ii) increase the conductivity of molten mixture.

(iii) reduce \text {Al}^{3+} into Al(s).

(iv) acts as a catalyst
