Why aluminium cannot be extracted by reducing alumina with carbon?

Answer:

Explanation:

Some metals, such as aluminium, are so reactive that their oxides cannot be reduced by carbon. Aluminum is too high in the electrochemical series (reactivity series) i.e. it is a stronger reducing agent than carbon and therefore it cannot be extracted from its ore using carbon reduction.

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

some metals like aluminium are so reactive that their oxides cannot be reduced by carbon.aluminium is also too high in the reactivity series that is it is a stronger reducing agent than carbon.So therefore it cannot e extracted from its ore using carbon reduction.
