The figure above shows the electrolysis of molten sodium chloride. Z is the
-
anode where the Cl\(^-\) ions are oxidized
- cathode where the Cl\(^-\) ions are reduced
- anode where the Na\(^+\) ions are reduced
- cathode where the Na\(^+\) ions are oxidized
The correct answer is: A
Explanation
During the electrolysis of brine, the chlorine ions are discharged at the anode and are oxidized. While at the cathode Hydrogen ion is discharged.
