  • Aluminium Extraction
\(Al_2O_3\) can be electrolyzed with an inert anode or a carbon anode.
Overall reactions are as follows:
Reaction I: For inert anode,
\[ \frac{2}{3}Al_2O_3(s) \to \frac{4}{3}Al(l) + O_2(g); \quad \Delta G^\circ \text{ (in Joules)} = 1124800 - 218T \]
Reaction II: For carbon anode,
\[ \frac{2}{3}Al_2O_3(s) + C(s) \to \frac{4}{3}Al(l) + CO_2(g); \quad \Delta G^\circ \text{ (in Joules)} = 730700 - 218T \]
T denotes temperature in Kelvin.
Given: Faraday constant = 96500 Coulomb.
If the inert anode is replaced by a carbon anode during electrolysis of \(Al_2O_3\) at temperature 1300 K, the decrease in the magnitude of decomposition potential between the two reactions (rounded off to two decimal places) is _________________ Volts.
