Why is electrolysis used to extract some metals

Very reactive metals, such as aluminium, form stable oxides and other compounds. Electrolysis is commonly used to extract these metals and requires a lot of electric current (energy) to reduce them to extract the metal. Less reactive metals, such as iron, form less stable oxides and other compounds.

the awnser is group 12

answer : third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol

explanation :

let us write down the given equations

equation 1 :

equation 2 :

equation 3 :

let us use hess's law to find out which 2 equations can be added to get the third equation.

let us reverse equation 2 and multiply it by 2. the new equation that we get is,

equation 4 :

let us add equation 1 & 4

the above equation is similar to equation 3 but has different value for dhrxn.

therefore third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol
