temperature and potential difference of electrodes.
Molten sodium chloride consists of sodium ions and chloride ions and is therefore a conductor of electricity- and can be electrlysed.
The element copper can conduct electricity. These are two completely different chemical substances.
As copper and chlorine are bonded by ionic bonding , they are placed in a crystal lattice and there is no free moving ions to conduct electricity at the solid state. In molten state, the ions are free to move about.
It could be done by electrolysis of a molten solution of NaCl, (not a dilute solution).
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
By electrolysis of Molten Potassium chloride
Copper and molten sodium chloride are electrical conductors.
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.
Molten sodium chloride consists of sodium ions and chloride ions and is therefore a conductor of electricity- and can be electrlysed.
Sodium can be obtained from sodium chloride by the electrolysis of molten NaCl.
Typically electrolysis of molten sodium chloride
oxidation
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.
This technology involve the electrolysis of molten sodium chloride.
Sodium and chlorine are obtained.
In the electrolysis of molten sodium chloride sodium and chlorine are obtained.
Electrolysis of molten sodium chloride: the products are sodium and chlorine. Electrolysis of sodium chloride solution: the products are hydrogen and chlorine.
