Question

How is sodium obtained from molten chloride? Give equation of the reaction

Answer 1

the extraction of metal from its molten salt is done by electrolysis from NaCL (Sodium Chloride) at cathode: NA+ +E+ Na

At Cathode: CL------Cl -  +e –

Over All reaction: Nacl -----Na+  +Cl-

Answer 2

Though we cannot directly obtain Sodium from molten chloride. However, we can obtain it by the process of electrolysis of molten sodium chloride.
The reaction for obtaining sodium from molten NaCl is as follows:
NaCl ---------> Na⁺ + Cl⁻
Reaction 
Na⁺ + 1e⁻ -------> Na (sodium) (in solid form).
