Which one of the following metals cannot be extracted by carbon reduction?A. `Zn`B. `Fe`C. `A1`D. `Sn`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Aluminium is exteracted by electrolytic reduction of mixture of molten `A1_(2)O_(3) +Na_(3)A1F_(6) +CaF_(2)`.
Due to vergy high enegry of dissocation of `a1_(2)O_(3)`, the reduction at such high temperature will give carbide in place of metallic `a1` according to the following reaction.
`2A1_(2)O_(3) +6C overset(Delta)rarrA1_(4)C_(3) +3CO_(2)`.
