Solution

Dear student,
a) In the electrolysis of NaCl , the electrolyte used is NaCl itself since in electrolytic refining the metal salt is taken as an electrolyte.
b) The anode is positively charged electrode hence it will attract negative ions.So, Cl- ions will be accumulated at anode and forms Cl2 gas.
