On electrolysis of brine solution, the amounts of NAOH and `Cl_(2)` produced at cathode and anode respectively are :

A

40 parts and 35.5 parts

B

35.5 parts and 40 parts

C

100 parts and 80 parts

D

80 parts and 100 parts

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Equivalent mass of NAOH = 40
Equivalent mass of `Cl_(2) = 35.5`
Thus, on electrolysis of brine we will get 40 parts of NAOH at cathode and 35.5 parts of `Cl_(2)` at anode.
