Sodium is produced by electrolysis of molten sodium chloride.What are the products at the anode and cathode,respectively?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the electrolysis of molten sodium chloride, sodium ions are attracted to the cathode and are reduced to elemental sodium (Na). Chloride ions (Cl-) are attracted to the anode and are oxidized to form elemental chlorine (Cl2) gas. Therefore, the products at the cathode and anode, respectively, are Na(l) and Cl2(g). Choice E is the only one that includes both of these products.
