Write one point of difference between electrolytic reduction and reduction with carbon. Give one example of each.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The electrolytic reduction takes place at the cathode by the gain of electrons in electrolysis. At the same time, carbon reduction is carried by heating a metal oxide with coke. For example,
` NaCl("molten") overset(("Electrolysis"))to Na^(+) +Cl^(-)`
`Na^(+) + e^(-) to Na " " ("Reduction by the gain of electrons")`
`ZnO + underset(("Coke"))(C ) overset("Heat") to Zn +CO " " ("Reduction by carbon")`
