Question

What would happen if we use electrolysis process to reduce metals rather than reducing it with carbon during extraction of metals in the middle of reactivity series?

Answer 1

Answer:

Metals more reactive than carbon, such as aluminium, are extracted by electrolysis, while metals less reactive than carbon, such as iron, may be extracted by reduction with carbon. ... However, chemical reactions may be needed to remove other elements that might contaminate the metal.
