Sodium is produced by electrolysis of molten sodium chloride. what are the products at the anode and cathode, respectively?

Respuesta :

When sodium chloride is molten:
NaCl ------> Na⁺ +Cl⁻
Anod (+)                                           |             Cathode (-)
2Cl⁻-2e⁻ ---> Cl2(gas)                     |          Na⁺ + e⁻ -----> Na⁰(s)
