Question

If NaCl is used as an electrolyte in electrolysis which among the following will happen: (i) Sodium ion moves to Cathode (ii) As NaCl separates, chloride becomes a cation (iii) Sodium chloride never dissociates in electrolysis.​

Answer 1

Answer:

as nacl seperates chloride becomes a cation

Explanation:

Answer 2

If NaCl is used as an electrolyte in electrolysis, (i) sodium ion moves to the cathode.

Explanation:

• Electrolysis of aqueous NaCl results in hydrogen and chlorine gas. At the anode (A), chloride ($Cl^{-}$) is oxidized to chlorine.
• The ion-selective membrane (B) allows the counterion$Na^{+}$ to freely across but prevents anions such as hydroxide ($OH^{-}$) and chloride from diffusing across.
• At the cathode (C), water is reduced to hydroxide and hydrogen gas.
• The net process is the electrolysis of an aqueous solution$NaCl$ into industrially useful products sodium hydroxide ($NaOH$) and chlorine gas.
