A) oxidation of \[N{{a}^{+}}\]
B) reduction of \[N{{a}^{+}}\]
C) reduction of \[C{{l}^{-}}\]
D) oxidation of \[C{{l}^{-}}\]
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
During the electrolysis of fused NaCI, following reactions take place : \[NaCl\xrightarrow{{}}N{{a}^{+}}+C{{l}^{-}}\] At anode \[C{{l}^{-}}+{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{Oxidation}Cl\] At cathode \[N{{a}^{+}}\xrightarrow{Reduction}Na+{{e}^{-}}\]
