A metal X which is resistant to corrosion is produced by the electrolysis of its molten oxide whereas another metal Y which is also resistant to corrosion is produced by the reduction of its oxide with carbon. Metal X can be used in powder form in thermite welding whereas metal Y is used in making cathodes of ordinary dry cells. (a) Name the metals X and Y. (b) Which of the two metals is more reactive: X or Y? (c) Name one ore or metal X. Also, write its chemical formula. (d) Name one ore of metal Y. Also, write its chemical formula. (e) Name one alloy of metal X and one alloy of metal Y.
