Respuesta :

Electrolysis of molten sodium chloride is the source for commercial production of sodium.

Electrolysis is a method used in chemistry and industry to force a chemical reaction that would not otherwise occur naturally. As a step in the electrolytic cell-based separation of elements from naturally existing sources like ores, electrolysis is significant from a commercial standpoint.

The formation of hydrogen gas at the negative electrode, chlorine gas at the positive electrode, and a sodium hydroxide solution all occur when an electric current is carried through a concentrated sodium chloride solution.  To create sodium metal and chlorine gas, molten (liquid) sodium chloride can be electrolyzed. A Down's cell is the name of the electrolytic cell employed in the procedure.
