The overall reaction taking place at anode duringelectrolysis of fused sodiumusing suitable electrode is

Answer»

OXIDATION of CHLORIDE
reduction of sodium ions
reductin of chlorine
oxidation of sodium ATOMS

Solution :Duringthe electrolyisis of fusedNaCIoxidation of sodium atoms takes place at anode and reduction of chlorine at CATHODE the reaction looks like
`NaCI rarr Na^(+) +CI^(-)`
oxidation`Na rarr Na^(+) +e^(-)`
Reduction`CI rarr CI^(-) - e^(-)`
and oxidation takes place at anode
