Q. The following is an extract from 'Metals in the service of man, Alexander and street / Pelican 1976' : Alumina (aluminium oxide) has a very high melting point of over 2000°C, so that it cannot readily be liquefied. However,conversion of alumina to aluminium and oxygen, by electrolysis, can occur when it is dissolved in some other substance.
