Answer» as a catalyst to make the fused MIXTURE very conduting to lower the fusion temperature of metal to DECREASES the ate of oxidation of CARBON at the anode. Solution :Fluorospar `(CaF_(2))` is added in small quantities to be melt in the extraction of Al. It MAKES the fused STATE more conducting. It lowers the s fusion temperature of the melt.
