Brine is electrolysed by using inert electrodes.

Question:

Brine is electrolysed by using inert electrodes. The reaction at anode is ________.

(i) Cl–(aq.) →1/2Cl2 (g) + e– ; E°cell = 1.36V

(ii) 2H2O(l) → O2(g0 + 4H+ + 4e- ; E°cell = 1.23V

(iii) Na+(aq) + e- → Na(s) ; E°cell = 2.71V

(iv) H+(aq) + e- → 1/2H2(g) ; E°cell = 0.00V

Solution:

Option (i) Cl–(aq.) →1/2Cl2 (g) + e– ; E°cell = 1.36V is the answer.
