In Hall - Heroult process, the following is used for reducing Al2O3 :-
Show Hint
The Hall-H´eroult process is a widely used method for extracting aluminum from its oxide. Graphite not only provides a surface for the reaction but also helps reduce \(Al_2O_3\)
- Na3AlF6
- Graphite
- Magnesium
- CaF2
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
In the Hall-H´eroult process, aluminum oxide \((Al_2O_3)\) is electrolyzed to produce aluminum. Graphite serves as the anode material, where oxygen gas is released, while the cathode is where aluminum is deposited. Graphite also acts as a reducing agent in the process by reacting with oxygen. Thus, the correct answer is option (2) .

Top JEE Main Questions
- Two masses $m$ and $\frac{m}{2}$ are connected at the two ends of a massless rigid rod of length $l$. The rod is suspended by a thin wire of torsional constant $k$ at the centre of mass of the rod-mass system(see figure). Because of torsional constant $k$, the restoring torque is $\tau =k\theta$ for angular displacement $\theta$. If the rod is rota ted by $\theta_0$ and released, the tension in it when it passes through its mean position will be:
