In the electrolysis of a concentrated solution of sodium chloride using electrodes, which of the following ions are discharged at the cathode and anode respectively?
Na+ and Cl-
Na+ and OH-
H+ and OH-
H+ and Cl-
Correct answer is D
In the electrolysis of conc. NaCl,
anions = \(Cl^- and OH^-\)
cations = \(H^+ and Na^+\)
So, hydrogen ion will migrate to the cathode, and Cl ion will migrate to the anode at the expense of hydroxide ion because of higher concentration in the solution
