Explanation:
- Instead, it is dissolved in molten cryolite – an aluminium compound with a lower melting point than aluminium oxide.
- The use of molten cryolite as a solvent reduces some of the energy costs involved in extracting aluminium by allowing the ions in aluminium oxide to move freely at a lower temperature.
