Solution

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:

Al2O32Al+3+3O22

At Cathode: 2Al+3+6e2Al

At Anode : 3O26e3[O]3O2 (gas)

Product at cathode: Pure aluminium metal

Product at anode : Oxygen gas

The statement is correct.
