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 MgCl2by 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
