Write electrode half-reactions for the electrolysis of fused sodium chloride. b Do the same for fused sodium hydroxide. The hydroxide ion is oxidized to oxygen and water.
What half-reaction would be expected to occur at the cathode in the electrolysis of aqueous sodium fluoride? a. $2 \mathrm{~F}^{-}(a q) \longrightarrow \mathrm{F}_{2}(g)+2 \mathrm{e}^{-}$ b. $2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l) \longrightarrow \mathrm{O}_{2}(g)+4 \mathrm{H}^{+}(a q)+4 \mathrm{e}^{-}$ c. $2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l)+2 \mathrm{e}^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{H}_{2}(g)+2 \mathrm{OH}^{-}(a q)$ d. $\mathrm{Na}^{+}(a q)+\mathrm{e}^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Na}(s)$ e. $\mathrm{NaF}(a q) \longrightarrow \mathrm{NaF}(s)$
