What are the electrolysed product when molten sodium chloride is eloctrolysed?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When molten sodium chloride is electrolysed sodium metal is discharged at cathode and chlorine gas is liberated at anode.
Anode: `2Cl^(-) to Cl_(2)+2e^(-)`
Cathode: `Na^(+)+e^(-) to Na.`
