Why does the graphite anode need to be replaced regularly in electrolysis? Please include word equation if possible

During the electrolysis process, aluminium is deposited at the cathode and oxygen is liberated at the anode. Some of this oxygen reacts with the carbon in the graphite to form carbon-dioxide, thus slowly burning away the anodes. Thus, the anodes have to replaced periodically.

the correct answer is b. a strong acid completely dissociates to its ions when dissolved in water. completely dissociates to and ions. a is incorrect because does not fully ionize to and ions and some remain as the compound . c and d are incorrect because, and do not fall into the category of bronsted lowry acids. a bronsted lowry acid is a proton donor and since both molecules do not have a proton to donate they are not bronsted lowry acids. likewise,   if we use the lewis acid definition, they cannot be acids. a lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. both and have a complete octet so can not accept any electrons which disqualifies them as acids.

i think its 100

i hope this !
