Question 3
F

Metal R reacts vigorously with dilute hydrochloric acid.

Heating the oxide of R with carbon does not produce any R.

Which method should be used to extract R from its compounds, and why?

[1]
A

Electrolysis of an aqueous solution of its compound, because R is more reactive than carbon.

B

Heating its oxide with carbon at a much higher temperature, because R is less reactive than carbon.

C

Electrolysis of its molten compound, because R is less reactive than carbon.

D

Electrolysis of its molten compound, because R is more reactive than carbon.
