Answer 2

During the electrolysis of molten sodium chloride, electricity is carried through the electrolyte by Both cations and anions.

Explanation:

• One of the interesting features of molten salts is their ability to conduct electricity. For example, solid sodium chloride (NaCl, or table salt) does not conduct electricity, it is an insulator.
• Add a substance that will dissociate into ions (an "electrolyte"), such as table salt, and current will flow.
• An electrolyte: a substance containing free ions, which are the carriers of electric current in the electrolyte.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.
