The electrolysis of a solution resulted in the formation of

{\mathrm{H}_2}

at the cathode and

\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{l}_2}

at the anode. The liquid is:

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

\mathrm{NaCl}

solution in water

Option C is correct. Electrolysis of NaCl solution produces H2 at the cathode and Cl2 at the anode.
