Will using potassium hydroxide during electrolysis produce chlorine gas?

If you mean just potassium hydroxide or its aqueous solution, then no, because their are no chlorine atoms present. The only elements present are potassium, hydrogen and oxygen. Molten KOH produces potassium at the cathode and oxygen at the anode, and the solution gives hydrogen at the cathode and oxygen at the anode.

Sodium hydroxide potassium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide all produce hydroxide ions in water and are therefore?
bases
What is potassium hydroxide used for in an experiment to demonstrate that carbon dioxide is produced by green plants during respiration?
Potassium hydroxide will react with carbon dioxide to produce potassium carbonate.
What electrode do brine and chlorine produce after electrolysis?
Chlorine is produced at the anode. Brine at the cathodeOxidation reaction: 2 Cl- --'anode'--> Cl2 + 2e-
What mass of potassium hydroxide is required to react completely with 2.70 g of sulfuric acid to produce potassium sulfate and water?
3.09
Why is an electric current needed to form sodium and chlorine from the sodium chloride solution?
This may be a trick question, electrolyis of a sodium chloride solution produces chlorine at the anode but does not produce sodium at the cathode. Electrolysis of molten sodium chloride does however produce sodium and chlorine.

What does Chlorine plus potassium iodide produce?
Potassium chloride and Iodine
What is the name of the process used to split salty water and produce chlorine?

Predict the reaction between chlorine and potassium astatide?
Cl2 + 2KAt arrow 2KCl +At2 Chlorine + Potassium Astatide arrow Potassium Chloride + Astatine This happens because Chlorine is more reactive than Astatine so the chlorine displaces the Astatine to produce Potassium Chloride and Astatine.
Potassium hydride reacting with water?
Potassium hydride reacts with water to produce potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. KH + H2O --> KOH + H2

3.09
Does a base contain hydroxide ion or produce it in a solution?
Some bases, such as sodium and potassium hydroxides, contain hydroxide ions even in solid form. Others, such as ammonia, produce hydroxide in solution but do not contain any such ions when in pure form.

What happens when you mix sulphuric acid and potassium hydroxide liquid?
This would produce an energetic reaction with a lot of heat, and the product would be water and potassium sulfate (as long as the molar quantities of the reactants are the same, otherwise you will have leftover sulfuric acid or leftover potassium hydroxide).
What is occurring when a piece of potassium metal ignites in a beaker of water?
The potassium reacts with water to produce potassium hydroxide, hydrogen gas, and large amounts of heat. The heat ignites the hydrogen which in turn ignites the potassium.
