$O_2$

Vedclass · Answer

(D) The electrolysis of brine ($NaCl$ solution) involves the following reactions:$NaCl ightleftharpoons Na^+ + Cl^-$$H_2O ightleftharpoons H^+ + OH^-$At the cathode: $2H^+ + 2e^- 	o H_2$ (Since the reduction potential of $H^+$ is higher than that of $Na^+$).At the anode: $2Cl^- - 2e^- 	o Cl_2$ (Since the oxidation potential of $Cl^-$ is higher than that of $OH^-$).In the solution: $Na^+ + OH^- 	o NaOH$.Thus,$NaOH$,$Cl_2$,and $H_2$ are produced,but $O_2$ is not produced.

Which of the following is $NOT$ produced during the electrolysis of brine solution?
