[@richardwinchester6204]

Very useful - I agree. Thanks for sharing. Just one little thing for viewers to watch out for; the video implies that the NaOH formed is a molecule whereas, in reality, the positive sodium ion and the negative hydroxide ion float around and have nothing to do with one another as they are both surrounded by water molecules.

[@asquirrel9758]

Richard Winchester thank you for clarifying. I guess the process to combine the sodium and hydroxide is to heat up the mixture as with lye production from ash?

Hi, I work in a chemical factory that produces HCl (the acid )and ( Sodium hypochlorite) and (NaOH) and and many more gases and liquids and it's just amazing that we use only a salt water to do all that ...before sending the brine to the electrolysiswe measure the concentration of the brine by measuring the temperature and the gravity of it and check it in a given table ()...I would like to ask you for the equation of measuring the brine concentration (using the calculator without referring to the table ) ...I will be very thankful if you answer my question and Thanks in Advance ;)

[@pradeepsen8685]

Can u please tell the reason why sodium is not discharged but hydrogen because concentration of sodium is more than hydrogen please 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@fuseschool]

Perhaps a few sodium ions are discharged, though it takes a far higher voltage compared with the discharge of hydrogen ions. However, if a sodium ion were to be discharged and became an atom, it would IMMEDIATELY react with water producing hydrogen and once again becoming an ion. So in either case, it is only hydrogen that is evolved at the cathode. You would need a molten salt with no water present if you wanted to deposit sodium as a metal.

[@therxion2415]

plz explain why sodium hydroxide is formed near cathode?

[@terminate5888]

Because sodium forms Na+ ions and so is attracted to the cathode: Na+ + e- = Na But as its very reactive it reacts with water: 2Na + H2O = 2NaOH Hoped this helped. :)

[@Ali-rw2nl]

Tell taleb to stop playing fort ote soaring 50s

[@Ali-rw2nl]

Did you find it

[@VanishedGull4]

Wouldn't some of the Chlorine gas and sodium hydroxide form sodium hypochlorite instead? Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I heard that salt water electrolysis results in a sodium hypochlorite solution and I wanted to know if it was true or not.

SORRY BUT I DONT UNDERSTANT...WHY H IONS ARE PREFEERENTIALY DISCHARGED INSTEAD OF Sodium ions?WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A CONCENTRATED SOLUTION..WHICH MEANS HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF NaCl

[@phenomenalphysics3548]

2:01 omg what!! chlorine gas is acidic???? I don't believe that plz someone help me!!😥

[@adi8784]

Won't the NaCl, when added to H2O dissipitate before we even start the electrolysis? Doesn't NaCl when added to water break down, even without electrolysis due to the partial charges of the polar water molecules??

[@strangelight6825]

MartianCactus Yes they do break down and produce Na cations and Cl anions.But they do not undergo any Chemical reaction until electricty is supplied .

[@terminate5888]

they separate as ions not at their neutral form

[@dushyantjoshi7121]

superb brother..

[@timsantika]

Won't the OH- get discharged first instead of Cl-? I thought OH- is preferentially discharged compared to Cl-. Im assuming initial conc for both anions are the same.

[@smolbean1949]

i have one small question.. if the hydrogen and sodium was attracted to the cathode how come they are left in the solution in the end, also what happens to the sodium when it gets attracted to the cathode, shouldn't reduction occur on sodium as well? (plz help I'm kinda confused about this)

No one tell the government. Once they figure out it's possible to make sodium hydroxide at home, thus making the restrictions of its sale pointless, it'll be impossible to buy salt in normal qualities without being accused of making meth.

[@igrewold]

Guys! I used a 9v battery with 2 alligator clamps, then (+) with copper plate and (-) with soda can cap as another plate There were bubbles, brine turned greenish, copper plate had some white stuff on it, and soda can cap has some black stuff on it. What is that greenish solution? and what are the white and black things? 9v Battery went down to 8 volts! And the green stuff went to the bottom! TIA

[@istoppedcaring6209]

this could be especially usefull for those countries that are forced to desalinate water for consumption, though it seems rather obvious so perhaps it just is not economically viable or something?, anyway, i heard that the residual brine is simply dumped back into the sea rather than being used for the production of chemicals or even just kitchen salt, the latter i understand to be in no short supply but the former, as shown by this video should be proffitable right?

[@sameenshafeeq5184]

Why hydroxyl ions doesn't discharge at cathode?whose reduction potential is higher??

u wrong since. first of all which one you mean concentrated or dilute. second of it will be hydroxide go not chlorine
