Question

how is sodium obtained from molten sodium chloride? Give equation of the reactions.​

Answer 1

$\huge\red{\boxed{\bold{Answer}}}$

$\huge\underline\mathfrak\green{Process}:$

• 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 chloride is as follows:

$\</strong><strong>l</strong><strong>a</strong><strong>r</strong><strong>g</strong><strong>e</strong><strong>{\boxed{\bold{</strong><strong>NaCl</strong><strong> </strong><strong>→</strong><strong> </strong><strong>Na^</strong><strong>+</strong><strong> </strong><strong>+</strong><strong>\</strong><strong>:</strong><strong> </strong><strong>Cl^</strong><strong>-</strong><strong>}}}$

$\huge\underline\mathfrak\green{Reaction}:$

$\large{\boxed{\bold{Na^+\:+\:1e^- → Na (sodium)}}}$

$\huge\mathbb\blue{THANK\:YUH!}$

Answer 2

Answer:

NaCl

Explanation:

At cathode :Na+ +e- - lesser than Na

At abode :Cl - lesser than:Cl- + e-

Over all reaction :NaCl - lesser than Na + + Cl-
