Question

during electrolysis of an aqueous solution of NaCl , hydrogen ions are reduced at cathode but not Na+ ions​

Answer 1

Answer:

Electrolysis of Aqueous NaCl

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.
