1.

The overall reaction taking place at anode during electrolysis of fused sodium chloride using suitable electrode isA. Oxidation of ChlorineionsB. Reduction of sodium ionsC. Reductions of chlorineD. Oxidation of sodium atoms

Answer» Correct Answer - A
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)
