Question

Explain decomposition of NaCl by electricity.

Answer 1

⭐ Hello Friend⭐

When electricity is passed through sodium chloride NaCl ,it undergoes decomposition to give sodium and chlorine.

2NaCl ------> 2Na + Cl2

✌️Hope it helps you ✌️
❤️ Thank you ❤️

Answer 2

Electrolytic decomposition:Decomposition of any molecule by using electricity is termed as electrolytic decomposition. Uses: There certain compounds which dissociate at higher temperatures for such molecules by using electricity will dissociate easily. Ex: NaCl molecule will dissociate at higher temperatures, but on electrolysis it will decompose easily. Using electricity the non-spontaneous reactions can also takes place easily.
2NaCl------------2Na+ and Cl2-
