Molten magnesium chloride is electrolyzed using inert electrodes and reactions represented by the following two half-reactions:
2Cl-(l) → Cl2(g) + 2e-
Mg2+(l) + 2e- → Mg(s)
Concerning this electrolysis,which of the following statements is true?
A) The anions in the electrolyte undergo reduction.
B) Mg2+ ions are reduced at the anode.
C) Oxidation occurs at the cathode.
D) Electrons pass through the metallic part of the circuit from Mg2+ ions to the Cl- ion.
E) Cl- ions are reducing agents.
