Best Answer

this is due to the fact that there is production of hydogen gas, chlorine gas and sodium hydroxide which has their individual characteristic importance

Which of these substances is commonly refined by electrolysis brine rust titanium water?

The only one of the four that's "commonly refined by electrolysis" is brine, but whether it'll be refined by electrolysis or by just pouring it into a shallow container and allowing it to evaporate depends on the products you want to obtain.If you're trying to get sodium hydroxide, hydrogen and chlorine, electrolysis is the process for you. This is the Chloralkali process. If you want salt, evaporation is the way to go.

What is the effect of overpotential of hydrogen evolution in electrolysis of brine?

The effects will vary based on the amount of overpotential, the current density, the electrode materials used, and the concentration of the brine, but in general: - higher overpotential will increase the reaction rate - the brine will become warmer and thermodynamic efficiency decreases - side reactions are more likely to occur, such as electrode stripping and increased Cl2 production at anode
