JEE Main Chemistry question
**Statement 1:** If an aqueous solution of NaCl is electrolysed using inert electrodes, chlorine gas is produced at the anode, and gas is produced at the cathode.
**Statement 2:** Electrolysis of aqueous solutions containing a metal ion that is a weaker oxidizing agent than will produce gas at the cathode.
Answer: (A)
Solution
Both statements are true. Since is a much weaker oxidizing agent than (water), water is reduced at the cathode
