Brine is electrolysed by using inert electrodes. The reaction at anode is_______

`Cl^(-) (aq) to 1/2 Cl_2 (g) + e^(-), E_("Cell")^(ө) = 1.36 V`

`2H_2 O (l) to O_2 (g) + O_2 (g) + 4H^(+) + 4e^(-), E_("Cell")^(ө)=1.23 V`

`Na^(+) (aq) + e^(-) to Na(s) , E_("Cell")^(ө) = 2.71 V`

`H^(+) (aq) + e^(-) to 1/2 H_2 (g) , E_("Cell")^(ө) = 0.00 V`

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

At anode : `Cl^(-) (aq) to 1/2 Cl_2 (g) + e^(-)`
