Describe the following : - (i) The role of cryolite in electro metallurgy of aluminium.
(ii) The role of carbon monoxide in the refining of crude nickel.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) In the metllurgy of aluminimum, purified `Al_(2)O_(3)` is mixed with cryolite lowers melting point of the mix and brings conductivity.
(ii) CO-forms a volatile complex (Nickel tetralabonyl)
`Ni +4 Co overset(300-350K)rarrNi(CO)_(4)`
the carbonyl is subjected to higher temperature so that it is decomposed giving a pure metal.
`Ni[CO] overset(450-41 K)rarrNi+4CO`.
