Question

Explain the process by which Sodium is obtained from its molten chloride.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The highly reactive metals like K,Na,Ca, and Mg are extracted by the electrolysis of their molten chloride.

for example:

Extraction of sodium metal:

Sodium metal is extracted by the electrolytic reduction of molten chloride.

when electric current is passed through molten sodium chloride , it decomposes to form sodium and chlorine gas.

2NaCl(l)-----------------> 2Na  +Cl2 (gas)

              electrolysis

Answer 2

Answer:

Sodium metal is extracted by the electrolytic reduction of molten chloride. when electric current is passed through molten sodium chloride , it decomposes to form sodium and chlorine gas. It can be done through electrolytic reduction.
