The overall reaction taking place at anode during electrolysis of fused sodium chloride using suitable electrode is

Answer»

Oxidation of Chlorineions
REDUCTION of sodium IONS
Reductions of chlorine
Oxidation of sodium atoms

SOLUTION :Electrolysis of fused NaCl
`NaCl to Na^(+)+ Cl^(-)`
At CATHODE `(-Ve)`
`2Na + 2e^(-) to 2Na` (Reduction)
At anode `(+Ve)`:
`2Cl^(-) to Cl_(2) + 2e^(-)` (Oxidation)
