Question

Explain
the extraction of sodium
metal by the
electrolysis of molten chloride with equation
​

Answer 1

Sodium is extracted by electrolytic reduction of molten sodium chloride. ... Chloride irons are anions; therefore they are attracted to the positively-charged anode. These chloride irons are oxidised to chlorine gas. Chlorine gas is produced at the anode.

Answer 2

Answer:

Hey mate,

Your answer is as follows:

Sodium is extracted by electrolytic reduction of molten sodium chloride. On passing electricity through molten sodium chloride, decomposition occurs and sodium metal and chlorine gas are formed.  Sodium ions are cations; therefore, they are attracted to the negatively-charged cathode and get deposited there.

Electrolysis of Molten NaCl

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.
