Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Electrolysis of NaCl is \(\mathrm{NaCl}+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{aq}) \rightarrow \mathrm{NaOH}(\mathrm{aq})+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{Cl}_2(\mathrm{~g})+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{H}_2(\mathrm{~g})\) Since during electrolysis pH changes to 12 So…
