The ions present when sodium chloride dissolves in water are: sodium ions, chloride ions, hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions. There are various different ways of carrying out electrolysis.

It should be noted that the terms "anode" and "cathode" indicate the direction of current flow and not the polarity: in a cell that consumes electric power, such as in NaCl electrolysis, the anode is ...

There are two PAGs in the Chemical reactions section: Electrolysis, eg electrolysis of aqueous sodium chloride or aqueous copper sulfate solution Production of salts, eg production of pure dry ...
