Question

how is the method of extraction of metals high up in the activity series different from that of metals in the middle.why the same method cannot be applied for them? explain giving equation, the extraction of sodium
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Metals high up in reactivity series are extracted by electrolytic reduction. While those in the middle are extracted first by converting into oxide and then reducing by carbon. 1 Same method cannot be used because metals have more affinity for oxygen than carbon.

Answer 2

Answer:

Metals high up in reactivity series are extracted by electrolytic reduction. While those in the middle are extracted first by converting into oxide and then reducing by carbon. 1 Same method cannot be used because metals have more affinity for oxygen than carbon.

Extraction  of sodium is done by electrolysis of molten sodium chloride

Equation = 2NaCl=2Na+Cl2
