Why sodium cannot be prepared by electrolysis of its aqueous solution?

Answer» The reduction potential of sodium,`Na`,is much lower than that of `H_(2)O`, therefore on electrolysis, water gets reduced to liberate `H_(2)` in preference of `Na^(o+)` ion. Hence, sodium cannot be prepared by electrolysis of its aqueous solution.
