Answer:

Since water can be both oxidized and reduced, it competes with the dissolved Na+ and Cl– ions. Rather than producing sodium, hydrogen is produced. ... Metal ions receive electrons at the negative electrode, and the non-metals lose them at the positive electrode.

Answer:

Electrolysis of sodium chloride is an important process to manufacture many bulk chemicals of commercial utility, like chlorine, sodium hydroxide etc. Sodium chloride is electrolyzed either in a molten state or in aqueous solutions. Electrolysis is, also done in the presence of additional salts to aid the redox reactions.
