What change will occur during the electrolysis of brine using carbon electrodes?
Chlorine will be given off at the anode
Oxygen gas will be given off at the anode
Sodium will be deposited at the cathode
The resulting solution, after electrolysis, will be acidic.
The volumes of hydrogen and chlorine given off during the same time are equal

The selected option is wrong,cl2 is giving off in the anode,brine is concentrated NaCl nd concentration is considered.Option E is correct.
C is the correct answer. brine is concentrated sodium chloride. and in the electrolysis of brine chlorine is deposited on the anode and sodium on the cathode
In the electrolysis of brine, chlorine is discharged at the anode (the positive electrode). The chloride ions (Cl-) from the sodium chloride solution lose electrons at the anode, forming chlorine gas (Cl2).
Please an explanation video is needed here because
Firstly brine is NaCl that means the Chlorine will be deposited at the anode while Sodium will be deposited at the cathode and from ur explanation u stated chlorine will be deposited at the anode but option A states a very different thing because chlorine is deposited at the cathode so to me I believe C will be the best answer please correct me if I made any mistake
Thank you will be expecting ur reply
