Where does chlorine form in an electrolytic cell during the electrolysis of molten Na Cl?
Chlorine is released as a gas (diatomic molecule Cl2).
Volume of gas are not equal during electrolysis of water?
As one molecule of water is composed of two atoms of Hydrogen to one atom of oxygen electrolysis of water should produce twice as much Hydrogen as it does Oxygen.
What does common salt break into during electrolysis of its solution?
The products of the electrolysis are sodium hydroxide and chlorine.
What happens during an electric current?
conclusion of electric current
Which component is reduced during the electrolysis of brine?
water
What will happen to water molecules when electricity is passed through water during electrolysis?
The water molecules will be split releasing hydrogen and Oxygen gas.
What is a cationic molecule?
A cationic molecule is a positively charged ion. It is attracted to the cathode, or the negative pole, during electrolysis.
Why were most metal found during the 19 century?
electricity was discovered, so they could use electrolysis

Why does hydrochloric acid conduct electricity?
Because it is an electrolyte in water and becomes ionized and ions are attracted towards corresponding electrodes during the electrolysis.
What happens when electric current is passed through fused sodium chloride?
During this electrolysis are obtained chlorine and sodium.
What does common salt break into during electrolysis of its solution?
The products of the electrolysis are sodium hydroxide and chlorine.
Can you separate hydrogen in the sodium chloride solution?
NaCl itself will not render any hydrogen, however you can separate hydrogen from the water through the process of electrolysis. During electrolysis of NaCl solution, hydrogen will be evolved at cathode.
Why does the concentration of tin sulphate solution not change during the electrolysis?
Tin Sulphate stays the same during electrolysis because it is low down in the reactivity series, it can only be extracted by the reduction of carbon, not by electrolysis.
During water electrolysis does the water have to be warm?
No
