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 \[C{{l}^{-}}+{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{\text{Oxidation}}Cl\] At cathode \[N{{a}^{+}}\xrightarrow{\text{Reduction}}Na+{{e}^{-}}\]
