    This document reviews electrolysis of molten sodium chloride and dilute sodium chloride solution. For molten sodium chloride, chloride ions move towards the cathode and sodium ions move towards the anode, with the overall redox reaction being the separation of sodium and chlorine. Heating must be maintained to keep the compound molten throughout electrolysis. For dilute sodium chloride solution, sodium and chloride ions are present, sodium ions are reduced at the cathode and chloride ions are oxidized at the anode, producing sodium and chlorine in the overall redox reaction.
