Question

explain electrolytic reduction of NaCl ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The net process is the electrolysis of an aqueous solution of NaCl into industrially useful products sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and chlorine gas. ... So, the electrolysis of WCl4 produces W and Cl2. Metal ions receive electrons at the negative electrode, and the non-metals lose them at the positive electrode.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

NaCl → Na +(l) + Cl–(l)

At cathode: reduction of 2Na+(l) + e– → Na(l)

At anode: oxidation of 2Cl–(l) → Cl2(g) + 2e–

Net Reaction is written as: 2Na +(l) + 2Cl–(l) → 2Na(l) + Cl2(g)
