    D) Electrolysis of molten \[CaC{{l}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[CaC{{l}_{2}}\to \underset{\text{Cathode}}{\mathop{C{{a}^{+2}}}}\,+\underset{\text{Anode}}{\mathop{2C{{l}^{-}}}}\,\] Cathode : \[C{{a}^{+2}}+2{{e}^{-}}\to Ca\] Anode : \[2C{{l}^{-}}\to 2{{e}^{-}}+C{{l}_{2}}\]
