The products formed when an aqueous solution of NaBr\mathrm{NaBr} is electrolysed in a cell having inert electrodes are

Options

  1. ANa\mathrm{Na} and Br2\mathrm{Br}_2
  2. BNa\mathrm{Na} and O2\mathrm{O}_2
  3. CH2,Br2\mathrm{H}_2, \mathrm{Br}_2 and NaOH\mathrm{NaOH}
  4. DH2\mathrm{H}_2 and O2\mathrm{O}_2.

Correct answer

C. H2,Br2\mathrm{H}_2, \mathrm{Br}_2 and NaOH\mathrm{NaOH}

Step-by-step solution

:NaBr⇌Na++Br−: \mathrm{NaBr} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{Na}^{+}+\mathrm{Br}^{-} H2O⇌H++OH−\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{H}^{+}+\mathrm{OH}^{-} At cathode : 2H++2e−→H22 \mathrm{H}^{+}+2 e^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{H}_2 At anode : 2Br−−2e−→Br22 \mathrm{Br}^{-}-2 e^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{Br}_2 In solution : Na++OH−→NaOH\mathrm{Na}^{+}+\mathrm{OH}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{NaOH} As discharge potential of H+\mathrm{H}^{+}ions is lower than that of Na+\mathrm{Na}^{+}ions and discharge potential of Br−\mathrm{Br}^{-} ions is lower than that of OH−\mathrm{OH}^{-}ions, H2\mathrm{H}_2 is liberated at cathode and Br2\mathrm{Br}_2 is liberated at anode.
