In the metallurgy of aluminium, cryolite is mixed in the molten state because it
Increases the melting point of alumina
Oxidises alumina
Reduces alumina
Decreases the melting point of alumina
Aluminium chloride exists as dimer, $Al_2Cl_6$ in solid state as well as in soluiton of non-polar solvents such as $C_6H_6.$ When dissolved in water it gives :
In $B_2H_6$
Colour of the bead in borax bead test is mainly due to the formation of
Complete the following chemical equations :
$Z + 3LiAl{H_4} \to X + 3LiF + 3Al{F_3}$
$X + 6{H_2}O \to Y + 6{H_2}$
$3X + 3{O_2}\xrightarrow{\Delta }{B_2}{O_3} + 3{H_2}O$
Give reasons:
$(i)$ Conc. $HNO _{3}$ can be transported in aluminium container.
$(ii)$ $A$ mixture of dilute $NaOH$ and aluminium pieces is used to open drain.
$(iii)$ Graphite is used as lubricant.
$(iv)$ Diamond is used as an abrasive.
$(v)$ Aluminium alloys are used to make aircraft body.
$(vi)$ Aluminium utensils should not be kept in water overnight.
$(vii)$ Aluminium wire is used to make transmission cables.
