Explanation:
ANSWER
The electrolysis of pure alumina faces some difficulties. Pure alumina is a bad conductor of electricity. The fusion temperature of pure alumina is about 2000
∘
C and at this temperature when electrolysis is carried out on the fused mass, the metal formed vaporizes, as the boiling point of aluminium is 1800
∘
C. These difficulties are overcome by using a mixture containing alumina, cryolite (Na

), and fluorspar (CaF

) which forms a melt with lower melting temperature.
