Question:

The incorrect statement about the Hall-Héroult process is:

Show Hint

The Hall-Héroult process reduces alumina to aluminum without changing oxygen's oxidation state overall.
Updated On: Dec 26, 2024
  • Carbon anode is oxidised to CO and CO2
  • Na3AlF6 helps to decrease the melting point of the electrolyte
  • CaF2 helps to increase the conductivity of the electrolyte
  • Oxidation state of oxygen changes in the overall cell reaction
