Solution

The correct option is A I-Z, II-W, III-X, IV-Y
(1) In Downs cell molten MgCl2 is electrolyzed, the electrolyte used in the cell is a fused mixture of 40% NaCl and 60% CaCl2.

(II) In Dow process, Mg(OH)2 is precipitated from sea-water by slurrying with calcined dolomite and then converting it to MgCl2 by reacting with HCl. In Dow sea water process, the electrolyte used is fused MgCl2.

(III) In the Hall-Heroult process, the electrolyte used is a fused mixture of Al2O3 and Na3AlF6.

(IV) In Moissan process, the electrolyte used is fused KHF2.
The correct match is:
I-Z, II-W, III-X, IV-Y
