1.

Which of the following statements is correct ? (i) Copper is extracted by hydrometallury from low grade ores. (ii) In electrolytic reduction of alumina , graphite is acting as anode and steel vessel with lining of carbon acts as cathode. (iii) In Hall-Heroult process, aluminium is obtained at anode and CO and `CO_(2)` are produce at cathodeA. (i) onlyB. (i) and (ii) onlyC. (ii) and (iii) onlyD. All of these

Answer» Correct Answer - B
In Hall-Heroult process,
At cathode : `Al_("(melt)")^(3+)+ 3e^(-) to Al_((l))`
At anode : `C_((s)) + O_("(melt)")^(2-) to CO_(2(g)) + 4e^(-)`
`C_((s)) + 2O_("(melt)")^(2-) to CO_(2(g)) + 4e^(-)`
