Options:
Answer:
A
Solution:
In the Downs cell, KCl (and sometimes CaCl₂) is added to molten NaCl to significantly lower its melting point from about 801 °C to around 600 °C. This reduction in temperature decreases energy consumption and minimizes the corrosion of the cell components, making the industrial production of sodium more economical and efficient.
