During the extraction of aluminium by Hall-Heroult process at which electrode oxygen gas is liberated.

Answer»

Solution :(ii) `2Al_(2)O_(3)+3C rarr 4Al+3CO_(2)`
`Al_(2)O_(3)overset ("Electrolysis ") to 2Al^(3)+3O^(2)`
At Anode : `Al^(3+)+ 3E^(-) to Al`
At Cathode : `C+O^(2-) +2E^(-)to CO_(2)`
`CO+O^(2-)+2e ^(-) to CO_(2) uarr`
(iii) Oxygen gas is not liberated ,
