Question

Metals like sodium, potassium, calcium
and magnesium are extracted by
electrolysis of their chlorides in a molten
state. These metals are not extracted by
reduction of their oxides with carbon
because:
(i) Reduction with carbon is very
expensive.
(ii) Carbon readily makes alloys with
these metals.
(iii) Carbon has less affinity for oxygen.
(iv) Carbon is a weaker reducing agent
than these metals.
(i) & (ii)
(ii) & (iii)
