What are half reactions that take place in the electrolysis of molten nacl? a) the half reaction for the species that is reduced is: b) the half reaction for the species that is oxidized is:

When electrolysis takes place in molten NaCl, it splits into two types of ions, NaCl > Na+ + Cl-
a) The half reaction that happens at cathode is reduction of Na+ ions
2Na+ + 2e = 2Na (l)
Na+ gets reduced by taking electrons and forms liqid metal that floats above the cathode
b) In the other half reaction at anode, Cl- loses electrons and gets oxidized by forming Cl2 gas
2Cl- -2e = Cl2(g)
We get the bubbles of Cl2 at anode.

Self-ionizes to form an equilibruium system in which [ h_{3} o^{+} ]=[ oh^{-} ]=10^{-7} m
