The purpose of adding cryolite is

Detailed Solution: Question 2

Cryolite is used in the electrolysis of aluminium oxide. The mixture of cryolite and aluminium oxide has a lower melting point than pure aluminium oxide. This means a lower amount of energy is required to establish effective conditions for electrolysis and thus makes it more cost effective.

Fluorspar is added along with cryolite as electrolytes with Gibbsite fluorspar is responsible for increasing the conductivity as well as the fluidity of Al whereas cryolite lowers the melting point of Al2O3

Hence the correct answers are A and B.
