Sodium is obtained from sodium chloride using electrolysis.
Following reactions are involved in the reaction:
The following equation represents the breaking apart of NaCl(l):
2NaCl(l) → 2Na(l) + Cl2 (g)
The half-reactions involved in this process are:
Reduction: 2Na+(l) + 2e- → Na(s)
Oxidation 2Cl-(l) → Cl2 (g) + 2 e-
