Can HCL be dissociated to by electrolysis in molten state?

$\bold{\Huge{\underline{\underline\pink{\mathfrak{Answer:-}}}}}$

Yes, HCL be dissociated to by electrolysis in molten state.

$\bold{\Huge\implies}$ If sodium chloride is melted (above 801 °C), two electrodes are inserted into the melt, and an electric current is passed through the molten salt, then chemical reactions take place at the electrodes. ... Chlorine gas bubbles out of the melt above the anode.

Answer 2

hi mate,

The electrolysis will only take place when electricity is passed through the dilute hydrochloric acid solution. ... The electrolyte hydrochloric acid, provides a high concentration of hydrogen ions H+ and chloride ions Cl– to carry the current during the electrolysis process.

The most familiar example of a strong electrolyte is table salt, sodium chloride. Most salts are strong electrolytes, as are strong acids such as hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, perchloric acid, and sulfuric acid. Strong bases such as sodium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide are also strong electrolytes.

(b) Hydrochloric acid is a strong electrolyte and dissociates completely in aqueous solution.

I hope it helps you.
