Question

Which of the following componds are not formed during electrolysis?

• A. KOH
• B. NaOH
• C. NaCl
• D. HCl

Answer 1

Answer: (C), (D)

The correct options are
C

NaCl

D

HCl

KOH and NaOH are the by-products of electrolysing KCl and NaCl, while NaCl and HCl are the substances which are diluted in the solution to have electrolysis performed. HCl and NaCl cannot be separately formed during the electrolysis because HCl and NaCl ionize to form $H^{+}andC{l}^{+}andN{a}^{+}$ respectively.
