  • question_answer
    During electrolysis of sodium chloride in Castner-Kellner cell, the products obtained at the cathode and anode are respectively

    A) \[Na,{{O}_{2}}\]          

    B) \[{{H}_{2}},{{O}_{2}}\]

    C) \[Na-Hg,C{{l}_{2}}\]

    D) \[C{{l}_{2}},Na-Hg\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] : A brine solution is electrolysed using a mercury cathode and a carbon anode. At cathode : \[{{N}^{+}}+{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow[{}]{Hg}\]Na-amalgam At anode : \[C{{l}^{-}}\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}\frac{1}{2}C{{l}_{2}}+{{e}^{-}}\]
