Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Molten \(\mathrm{Al}_2 \mathrm{O}_3+\mathrm{Na}_3 \mathrm{AlF}_6\) electrolyte, carbon coated steel vessel cathode, graphite anode.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Molien \(\mathrm{Al} \mathrm{O}_3+\mathrm{Na} \mathrm{AlF}_6\) as elecurolyse, carbon coated steel vessel cathode, graphite anode is used to produce aluminium (Al) by electrolysis. The process is called Hall's process. In this process, purified alumina is mixed with…
