Assertion : Potassium is not obtained by the electrolysis of fused `KCl`.
Reason : Potassium vapourises at the melting point of `KCl`.

Assertion (A): Potassium cannot be obtained by the electrolysis of used KCI in molten CaCI_(2) . Reason (R ): Metallic potassium is soluble in molten CaCI_(2) . Thus, the cell for electrolysis gets short circuited.

Electrolysis of fused KCl.MgCl_2. 6H_2O gives:

Why potassium cannot be obtained by the electrolysis of an aqueous solution of KCI?

NaCl has higher melting point that KCl.

What products are obtained in the electrolysis of fused KCl and aqueous solution of KCl between platinu electrodes ?
