MCQ
In the purification of bauxite by Hall's process
  • A
    Bauxite ore is heated with $NaOH$ solution at ${50\,^o}C$
  • Bauxite ore is fused with $N{a_2}C{O_3}$
  • C
    Bauxite ore is fused with coke and heated at ${1800\,^o}C$ in a current of nitrogen
  • D
    Bauxite ore is heated with $NaHC{O_3}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
Bauxite ore is fused with $N{a_2}C{O_3}$
b
(b)In Hall’s process

$A{l_2}{O_3}.2{H_2}O + N{a_2}C{O_3} \to 2NaAl{O_2} + C{O_2} + 2{H_2}O$

$2NaAl{O_2} + 3{H_2}O + C{O_2}\xrightarrow{{333\,K}}$ $2Al{(OH)_3} \downarrow  + N{a_2}C{O_3}$

$2Al{(OH)_3}\xrightarrow{{1473\,K}}A{l_2}{O_3} + 3{H_2}O$
