A major source of chlorine gas, Cl2, is from the electrolysis of brine, which is concentrated salt water, NaCl (aq) . Which of the following is the balanced chemical reaction for this electrolysis reaction?
A) NaCl (aq) + H2O → NaOH (aq) + Cl2 (g) + H2 (g)
B) 2 NaCl (aq) + H2O → Na2O (aq) + 2 HCl (aq)
C) 2 NaCl (aq) + 2 H2O → 2 Na (s) + O2 (g) + 2 H2 (g) + Cl2 (g)
D) 2 NaCl (aq) + H2O → 2 NaH (aq) + Cl2O- (aq)
