    Write one point of difference between electrolytic reduction and reduction with carbon. Give one example of each.

    Answer:

                    The electrolytic reduction takes place at the cathode by the gain of electrons in electrolysis. At the same tune, carbon reduction is carried by heating a metal oxide with coke. For example, \[NaCl\text{(molten)}\,\xrightarrow{\text{(Electrolysis)}}\,N{{a}^{+}}\,+C{{l}^{-}}\] \[N{{a}^{+}}+{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{\,}\,Na\] (Reduction by the gain of electrons) \[ZnO+\underset{(Coke)}{\mathop{C}}\,\,\,\xrightarrow{Heat}\,Zn+CO\] (Reduction by carbon)
