Hall-Herolut’s process is given by

A

$Cu^{2+} (aq) +H_2 (g)$ $\longrightarrow$ $Cu (s) + 2H^+ (aq)$

B

$Cr_2O_3 + 2Al$ $\longrightarrow$ $Al_2O_3 + 2Cr$

C

$2Al_2O_3 + 3C$ $\longrightarrow$ $4Al + 3CO_2$

D

$ZnO + C\xrightarrow{{Coke,\,1673\,K}}Zn + CO$

Solution

Hall – Herolut's process is given by

$2A{l_2}{O_3}\, + \,\,3C\, \to \,4Al\, + \,3C{O_2}$

$2A{l_2}C{O_3}(l)\, \rightleftharpoons \,4A{l^{3 + }}(l)\, + \,6{O^{2 – }}(l)$

At Cathode : $4A{l^{3 + }}(l)\, + \,12{e^ – }\, \to \,4Al\,(l)$

At anode : $6{O^{2 – }}(l) \to \,3{O_2}(g)\, + \,12{e^ – }\,$

$2C\, + \,3{O_2} \to 3C{O_2}( \uparrow )$
