    The formula of cryolite is:

    A)  \[N{{a}_{3}}Al{{F}_{6}}\]             

    B)         \[CaC{{l}_{2}}.A{{l}_{2}}{{(S{{O}_{4}})}_{3}}\]

    C)  \[F{{e}_{4}}[Fe{{(CN)}_{6}}]\]

    D)         \[A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}.2{{H}_{2}}O\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Cryolite \[(N{{a}_{3}}Al{{F}_{6}})\] is an ore of aluminium. In the Hall process cryolite is used with \[\text{A}{{\text{l}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}\]because cryolite increase the electrical conductivity of cell as \[\text{A}{{\text{l}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}\]is a poor conductor.
