Question

Answer the following questions:
. Explain Electrolytic reduction with suitable example.

How this metallurgy process will be helpful in our daily life.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Electrolytic - During electrolysis, the cathode supplies electrons to metal ions for their reduction to the metal. Examples : (i) Sodium metal is obtained by the electrolysis of molten sodium chloride. ... The aluminium ions present in aluminium oxide go to the cathode and are reduced there to aluminium atoms.

Metallurgy- Metallurgy is a domain of materials science and engineering that studies the physical and chemical behavior of metallic elements, their inter-metallic compounds, and their mixtures, which are called alloys. Metallurgy encompasses both the science and the technology of metals.

Answer 2

Answer:

Electrolytic reduction is defined as the electrolysis process which is use to extract metals from molten chloride or oxides.

In Electrolytic reduction, the particles of the metals gets collected at cathode and the particles of oxygen and chlorine at anode.

For example :

Here the aluminium ions () from molten  gets 3 electrons from cathode and become Aluminium metal (Al)/.
