Cl- is oxidised at anode
can you please explain how .. your answer is absolutely correct
Anode is an oxidizing agent. The negativiely charged chlorine ion when comes near the anode it gives away the electrons to anode and decomposes into chlorine atom
hope you got it
yeah thank you

2nd option is the correct answer
Cl- is oxidised
In electrolysis, oxidation takes place at anode and anions deposit at it.
(in this question, Cl- will be oxidised because Cl- is an anion which will deposit at anode and at anode oxidation takes place)
While cation deposits at Cathode.
