In the electrolysis of a concentrated solution of sodium chloride using electrodes, which of the following ions are discharged at the cathode and anode respectively?
The electrolysis of sodium chloride solution, also known as brine, produces chlorine gas at the anode and hydrogen gas at the cathode. Sodium hydroxide is also formed as a by-product, depending on the concentration of sodium chloride in water. During the electrolysis of a concentrated sodium chloride solution, hydrogen ions are discharged at the cathode and chloride ions are discharged at the anode.
There is an explanation video available below.
