Given below are two statements: Statement : During Electrolytic refining,the pure metal is made to act as anode and its impure metallic form is used as cathode. Statement 1: During the Hal-Hereul electrolysis process,purified `Al_(2)O_(3)` is mixed with `Na_(3)AlF_(6)` to lower the melting point of the mixture. In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

A

Both Statement I and Statement II are correct

B

Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect

C

Statement I is correct but Statement Il is incorrect

D

Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the two statements provided: **Statement 1:** During electrolytic refining, the pure metal is made to act as anode and its impure metallic form is used as cathode. **Statement 2:** During the Hall-Héroult electrolysis process, purified \( Al_2O_3 \) is mixed with \( Na_3AlF_6 \) to lower the melting point of the mixture. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyzing Statement 1:** - In electrolytic refining, the process involves using an impure metal as the anode and a pure metal as the cathode. - The impure metal dissolves into the electrolyte, and pure metal is deposited at the cathode. - Therefore, the statement that "the pure metal is made to act as anode" is incorrect. 2. **Analyzing Statement 2:** - The Hall-Héroult process is used for the extraction of aluminum from its ore, where \( Al_2O_3 \) is dissolved in molten cryolite (\( Na_3AlF_6 \)). - The addition of cryolite lowers the melting point of the mixture and increases its conductivity, making the electrolysis process more efficient. - Thus, this statement is correct. 3. **Conclusion:** - Statement 1 is incorrect. - Statement 2 is correct. - Therefore, the most appropriate answer is that Statement 1 is false and Statement 2 is true. ### Final Answer: The correct option is that Statement 1 is incorrect and Statement 2 is correct. ---
