Answer:
(a.) Brine is
electrolysed by using inert electrodes. The possible reactions occurring at
anode are
The reaction
at anode with lower value of 
is preferred
and therefore water should get oxidised in preference to 
(aq). However, 
is produced instead of
. This unexpected
result is explained
on the basis of the fact that water needs greater voltage for oxidation to (as it is kinetically slow
process) than that needed for oxidation ofions
to.
