The products formed at the cathode and anode by electrolysis of aqueous NaCl solution respectively are |
Na, Cl2 Na, O2 H2, Cl2 H2, O2 |
H2, Cl2 |
Electrolysis of aqueous NaCl \(NaCl (s) —————→ Na^+(aq) + Cl^− (aq)\) At cathode \(2H_2O (l) + 2e^— —————→ H_2 ↑ + 2OH^—\) At anode \(2Cl^— —————→ Cl_2 + 2e^—\) \(Na^+ OH^— —————→ NaOH\) |
