Electrolysis of aqueous NaCl

In this video, we will look at the electrolysis of aqueous NaCl which is used in the commercial production of NaOH. We will explore why electrolysis of aqueous NaCl is preferred over molten NaCl and what different products are obtained in each case. Timestamps 00:10 - Recap of electrolysis of molten NaCl. 01:05 - Products obtained in the electrolysis of aqueous NaCl. 01:58 - Reactions occurring during the electrolysis of aq. NaCl. 04:15 - Why chlorine gas is liberated at anode and not oxygen? 06:05 - What happens due to over voltage?
