Question

name the gaseous product obtained by the electrolysis of aqueous sodium chloride solution

Answer 1

At the cathode (C), water is reduced to hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The net process is the electrolysis of an aqueous solution of NaCl into industrially useful products sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and chlorine gas.

Answer 2

Answer:

Hydrogen gas and chloride gas is given out due to electrolysis of aqueous sodium chloride.

Explanation:

Many chemicals for commercial use are produced through the process of electrolysis of aqueous sodium chloride. In electrolysis, the ions move towards electrodes. Solid salt doesn't allow electrolysis as the ions can't move in solid state. During electrolysis, the ions disassociate into sodium and chloride ions. Electrolysis is easier in aqueous solution. As water can't reduce or oxidize, the sodium and chloride ions may have water molecules as well.
