Al is used because it is the strongest reducing agent and the only option listed that can provide sufficient driving force to convert La(III) into La.
The CaSiO3 slag is less dense than the molten iron, so it can easily be separated. Also, the floating slag layer creates a barrier that prevents the molten iron from exposure to O2, which would oxidize the Fe back to Fe2O3.

(a) none; (b) none; (c) The two Cl ligands can be cis or trans. When they are cis, there will also be an optical isomer.
The complex does not have any unpaired electrons. The complex does not have any geometric isomers, but the mirror image is nonsuperimposable, so it has an optical isomer.
