In Down's process of extraction of Na metal from molten NaCl, some amount of anhydrous is used because-
Options:
Answer:
C
Solution:
In Down's process, anhydrous is added to molten to lower the melting point of the electrolytic mixture from 801 °C to approximately 600 °C. This reduction in temperature makes the extraction of Na metal more energy-efficient and effective, as it reduces power consumption and minimizes the vaporization of sodium.
