You have an abundant supply of NaCl salt from which you would like to prepare pure metallic sodium.
A) As the reduction potential of the aqueous Na+/Na couple is -1.662 V, this process is accomplished spontaneously in aqueous solution.
B) As the reduction potential of the aqueous Na+/Na couple is -1.662 V, this process is accomplished spontaneously from molten NaCl.
C) You prepare an aqueous solution of NaCl, apply a voltage of 1.662 V and collect metallic Na.
D) Na is produced by electrolysis of molten liquid NaCl at elevated temperature (NaCl mp. is 800oC) .
E) Na is produced by electrolysis of solid NaCl.
