Yes, it is possible to make NaOH this way.
However, when NaCl is being electrolysed, Cl2 and H2 gasses are released (and NaOH stays in solution). Cl2 reacts with NaOH, forming NaClO, so chlorine gas should be kept away from solution.
Also, it should not be forgotten that hydrogen gas is flammable and if one breathes in chlorine gas, his lungs might (and when higher amounts are breathed in - will) burn and be literally coughed out.
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.
Yes, sodium (Na) can be extracted from the electrolysis of its aqueous solution of sodium chloride (NaCl). During electrolysis, sodium ions are reduced at the cathode to form elemental sodium. Meanwhile, chloride ions are oxidized at the anode to produce chlorine gas.
Sodium hydroxide, if the electrodes are inert to electro-dissolution, as are the carbon cathodes are usually used in large-scale electrolysis of this type.
To prepare a 4.00 M NaCl solution, first calculate the moles of NaCl in 23.4 g. Then, determine the volume of water needed to make a total volume of 100.0 mL minus the volume of NaCl solution. Add the water to the NaCl to make a 100.0 mL solution.
The substance left in the solution after electrolysis depends on the specific electrolyte used. For example, in the electrolysis of water, hydrogen gas and oxygen gas are typically produced. In the case of a salt solution, the cations and anions of the salt may be discharged at the electrodes.
You need a laboratory and also this electrolysis is not recommended to be made at home.
Electrolysis of a water solution: sodium hydroxide, hydrogen, chlorine..Electrolysis of molten NaCl: sodium, chlorine.
Molten NaCl is preferred over an aqueous solution of NaCl in electrolysis because in the molten state, NaCl dissociates into Na+ and Cl- ions without the presence of water molecules, allowing for direct electron transfer at the electrodes. In an aqueous solution, water molecules also undergo electrolysis, leading to the production of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas, which can interfere with the desired reactions involving Na+ and Cl- ions. Additionally, the high melting point of NaCl ensures that it remains in the molten state during the electrolysis process, providing a stable environment for the reactions to occur.
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.
1. The products of the molten sodium chloride electrolysis are sodium and chlorine. 2. The products of the water solution of sodium chloride electrolysis are sodium hydroxide and hydrogen.
Electrolysis is a chemical change.
The Molecular Weight of NaCl = 58.5 So to make 1L of 4M NaCl solution you need 4*58.5=234g of NaCl So to make 100mL of the above solution you need 23.4 grams of NaCl

Actually Chlorine is the second member of the halogen family(GrVII), so it is collected from the sea salt (e.g. NaCl) via electrolysis and some other separation technique. N.B: On Electrolysis, NaCl solution produces Hydrogen(H2) and Chlorine (Cl2), not Na & Cl2. If you wanna get Na & Cl2 from the electrolysis of NaCl it must be in molten state.

To make a 15.00% by mass aqueous solution with NaCl, the mass of NaCl is 255.0g. This means that 15.00g of NaCl is present in every 100.00g of solution. To find the mass of water needed, first calculate the mass of NaCl in the final solution, then subtract this amount from the total mass of the solution (water + NaCl).
