|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| the electrodes are made out of what? | carbon/graphite
🗑
|
||||
| the electrolyte (solution in which electricity passes through) is what? | aluminium oxide, dissolved in molten cyrolite.
🗑
|
||||
| Why is the aluminium dissolved in molten cryolite? | Because the melting point of aluminium oxide needs to be reduced, without it, the melting point would be too high. It also makes it a better conductor of electricity.
🗑
|

| What's the main ore of aluminium oxide? | Bauxite
🗑
|
||||
| The Bauxite is firstly purified to produce what? | Aluminium oxide.
🗑
|
||||
| What's the reaction at the cathode? | Al3+ + 3e- -> Al
🗑
|
||||
| What happens to the product here? | The aluminium melts and collects at the bottom of the cell. Here it is tapped off.
🗑
|
||||
| What's the reaction at the anode? | 2O2- -> O2 + 4e-
🗑
|
||||
| What happens to some of the oxygen at the anode? | It reacts with the carbon on the electrode and forms CO2. This gradually burns the anode away, meaning they must be replaced frequently.
🗑
