There is Na+ and Cl- ions in the solution. Therefore, assuming the electrodes are inert, sodium ions will be discharged as sodium metal on the cathode and Chloride ions will be discharged from the anode as chlorine gas

Why will molten Sodium Chloride undergo electrolysis?
Molten sodium chloride consists of sodium ions and chloride ions and is therefore a conductor of electricity- and can be electrlysed.
What will affect the electrolysis of molten copper chloride?
temperature and potential difference of electrodes.
How you would break down sodium chloride into its constituent elements?
It could be done by electrolysis of a molten solution of NaCl, (not a dilute solution).
What are the products of the reaction of potassium chlorate?
It depends on how it reacts. In its dry powder form, if it touches fire you will get noting more than fire and some smoke. In its highly reactive molten form, however, contact with anything that contains carbon, sugar for example, will cause atom rearrange-ment that produces Carbon Dioxide, Potassium Chloride, Oxygen, and Water.
What is produced at the positive electrode of the electrolysis of molten lead bromide?
Lead in solid state
How do they get potassium?
By electrolysis of Molten Potassium chloride
What is the electrolysis of sodium chloride?
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.
What is produced when sodium chloride is electrolysed?
Electrolysis of molten sodium chloride: the products are sodium and chlorine. Electrolysis of sodium chloride solution: the products are hydrogen and chlorine.
What is the structure of molten sodium chloride?
In molten sodium chloride the free moving particles are Na+ and Cl- ions, during electrolysis sodium ion moves towards cathode and chloride ion towards anode.
What happens when molten salts is electrolysed?
Electrolysis of molten sodium chloride: yield sodium and chlorine.Electrolysis of sodium chloride water solution: yield hydrogen, sodium hydroxide and chlorine.
What is electrolysis of aqueous sodium chloride?
Sodium metal can be obtained by electrolysis from molten mixture of sodium chloride and calcium chloride in Down's cell. The metal can not be obtained by electrolysis from aqueous solution, because hydrogen will evolve instead.
Why will molten Sodium Chloride undergo electrolysis?
Molten sodium chloride consists of sodium ions and chloride ions and is therefore a conductor of electricity- and can be electrlysed.
How is potassium formed?
It is so reactive it has to be made by electrolysis of molten KCl
How can sodium be reduced from sodium chloride?
Sodium can be obtained from sodium chloride by the electrolysis of molten NaCl.
How do you make metallic sodium?
Typically electrolysis of molten sodium chloride
What process occurs at the anode in the electrolysis of molten Sodium chloride?
oxidation
How is sodium produced from sodium chloride on a commercial scale?
This technology involve the electrolysis of molten sodium chloride.
