Detailed Solution

  • The melting point of alumina is quite high. 
  • Cryolite is introduced during alumina electrolysis to lower the melting point of alumina. 
  • Cryolite also improves alumina conductivity.
  • Ionic compound aluminium oxide (Al2O3) When it is melted, it produces Al3+ and O2− ions, which are free to travel and conduct electricity. Ions are not free in the solid state and cannot carry electricity.
     
  • Alumina is reduced electrolytically.
  • Al+3+3e-−→Al.
