Detailed Solution

  • Sodium is removed by electrolytically reducing molten or fused sodium chloride.
  • As electricity passes through molten sodium chloride, decomposition occurs and the sodium metal is formed at the cathode and chlorine gas is formed at the anode.
  • Sodium moves to cathode as loses one electron and chlorine moves to anode as it accepts the electron and becomes negative.
