During electrolysis of molten \(\mathrm{NaCl},\) some water was added. What will happen?
- A Electrolysis will stop
- B Hydrogen will be evolved
- C Some amount of caustic soda will be formed
- D A fire is likely
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) A fire is likely
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
During electroysis of molten \(\mathrm{NaCl}\), when water is added, the following statements are true (a) false (b) \(\because \mathrm{Na}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow \mathrm{NaOH}+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{H}_{2}\) and discharge potential of hydrogen is less than of…
