Electrolysis of dilute NaCl
« on: July 25, 2012, 11:24:25 PM »
What is the difference between electrolysing NaCl - sodium chloride - and setting up a circuit with salt in water? Is it the ions pass electrons in a circuit whereas the ions are attracted to the electrodes in electrolysis?

When we electrolyze aqueous solution of NaCl we get Cl2 and H2 but if we electrolyze fused NaCl,then we get Na and Cl2..That's the difference...
