Question

Write the reactions taking place at anode and cathode during the electrolysis of Sodium chloride solution​

Answer 1

Answer:

During electrolysis: hydrogen ions H +(aq) (from the water) are discharged at the negative electrode as hydrogen gas, H 2(g) ... sodium ions Na +(aq) (from the dissolved sodium chloride) and hydroxide ions OH –(aq) (from the water) stay behind - they form sodium hydroxide solution, NaOH(aq)
