Reduction by Electrolysis
Reduction of highly electropositive (reactive) metals like K, Na, Ca, Mg, Al oxides/halides.
Electrolysis of fused metallic salts
Example: Extraction of Aluminium [Al2O3.2H2O]
When electric current is passed through the concentrated ore, the reaction takes place as follows:
Al2O3→2Al+3+3O−22
At Cathode: 2Al+3+6e−→2Al
At Anode : 3O2−−6e−→3[O]→3O2 (gas)
Product at cathode: Pure aluminium metal
Product at anode : Oxygen gas
The statement is correct.
