Yeah, you're a bit confused there. You'll only make CO2 in the presence of oxygen if the temperature is sufficiently high to make the two react. At room temperature the carbon is inert and the oxygen is released as bubbles.

nilmot:
Mmm...but if you are to get aluminium oxide molten , won't the temperature be high , very high in the first place anyway?

Tom

cuso4:
Yep very high. About 2000 degrees C. Cryolite (sodium aluminium fluoride, Na3AlF6) act as a solvent in Al2O3 and reduce the melting point to about 1000 degrees C.
