Hello Aspirant,

electrolysis is the passage of a direct electric current through an ionic substance that is either molten or dissolved in a suitable solvent. Electrolysis of an aqueous solution of NaCl, or sodium chloride produces aqueous sodium hydroxide and chlorine, although usually only in minute amounts. NaCl (aq) can be reliably electrolysed to produce hydrogen.

Good Luck

Hi Suraya,

The cell used for electrolysis of NaCl fuel is an Eletrolytic cell.

The products of electrolysis of molten NaCl are Sodium metal and Chlorine gas.

Electrolysis of aqueous sodium chloride produces hydrogen and chlorine, with aqueous sodium hydroxide remaining in solution.

Feel free to ask doubts in the Comment Section.

I hope this information helps you.

Good Luck!
