How is the electrolysis different when the sodium chloride is dissolved in water?

If you are asking for the difference between the electrolysis of concentrated NaCl and aqueous NaCl, the water molecules in aqueous NaCl undergoes the Redox reactions rather than the sodium and chloride ions because the electric potential is higher. In concentrated NaCl, the chlorine atoms are oxidised instead.
