Assertion : In the Hoop’s process of aluminium purification, the fused materials remain in three different layers. These layers remain intact even in electrolytic reduction.

Reason : This is an oxidation reaction and leads to the formation of a soluble complex.

Assertion : The reduction of a metal oxide is easier if the metal formed is in liquid state
at the temperature of reduction.

Reason : The value of entropy change +S of the reduction process is more on +ve side when the metal formed is in liquid state and the metal oxide being reduced is in solid state. Thus the value of fG° becomes more on negative side.
