(ii)Solid sodium chloride cannot conduct electricity because its ions are in a fixed position and

thus they cannot move and conduct electricity.Molten sodium chloride ions are free to flow
therefore they can conduct electricity.

(iii)The products are sodium hydroxide, hydrogen gas and chlorine gas.
(iv)The
(v)Graphite has a high melting point, so it can be used to conduct electricity in high temperature
reactions without changing state, which is why it is suitable material for an electrode.
(c)i It is A
(d)A is the cathode.
(iii)Chlorine gas at the anode and zinc metal at the cathode.
(iv)In a test for chloride ions precipitation of an insoluble chloride salt takes place.A few drops
of a silver nitrate solution are put to a slightly acidic aqueous solution that contains chloride
ions.The final result is a white precipitate of silver chloride.
