What is the product of the electrolysis of aqueous sodium chloride (NaCl) using inert electrodes?
During the electrolysis of aqueous sodium chloride using inert electrodes (such as platinum or carbon), the cations (H\(^+\)) are attracted to the cathode and are reduced to form hydrogen gas (H\(_2\)). The anions (OH\(^-\)) are attracted to the anode and are oxidized to form oxygen gas (O\(_2\)).
There is an explanation video available below.
