uses

Extraction of metal

Purification of metal

electroplating

More reactive metal electrode negative terminal less reactive metal electrode positive terminal

Cryolite: lower the melting point of aluminium oxide

Pure metal cathode Impure metal anode

electrolyte must contain same cations as the metal anode.

The further apart the two metals are in the reactivity series of metals, the greater the voltage produced
