Answer:
During electrolysis of alumina , the oxygen liberated at the carbon anode reacts with graphite rods and forms carbon dioxide . As the anodes gets oxidised during electrolysis of alumina, they are continuously eroded. Hence , it is necessary to replace anodes from time to time

Answer:
In the electrolysis of alumina, graphite rod is used as anode.
- During the electrolytic reduction of alumina, aluminium produced at the cathode and oxygen gas is evolved at the anode.
- This gas reacts with the graphite rods (anode) and forms carbon dioxide.
Thus, the graphite rods are continuously eroded. Hence, anode are replaced from time to time during the electrolysis of alumina.
