    This document provides instructions for a lab on extracting aluminium through electrolysis. Students are asked to label a diagram, explain why carbon cannot be used to directly reduce aluminium oxide, describe the electrolysis process in terms of ion movement, write the balanced equation for the process using Al2O3, explain why cryolite is added and why anodes must be replaced, give two reasons extraction is expensive and three uses of aluminium, and write the half equations for the anode and cathode reactions.

    Extraction of Aluminium

    1. Label the diagram below (5)


    2. State why aluminium cannot be extracted from its oxide by
    reduction with carbon? (Think about the reactivity series) (1)
    3. Describe the electrolysis in terms of movement of ions (2)
    4. Write a balanced symbol equation to summarise this process
    (Hint: the formula for aluminium oxide is Al2O3) (2)
    5. Explain why cryolite is added (1)
    6. Explain why the anodes must be replaced frequently (2)
    7. Give two reasons why the extraction of aluminium is expensive
    (2)
    8. Give three uses of aluminium and explain why it is used in each
    case (3)
    9. Write half equations for the reactions at the anode and
    the cathode (remember your help-table!) (4)
