Chlorine is a strong electrolyte - it always completely dissociates in water. HCl (hydrochloric acid) is a strong acid as well, for the same reason.


Why chlorine gas forms at the positive electrode?

At the positive electrode electrons are removed from the solution. If chloride ions (Cl-) are present the will each lose and electron to form chlorine atoms, which then bond together to from Cl2 molecules, which is chlorine gas. Chlorine is extremely toxic, which is why you shouldn't use table salt (sodium chloride) as an electrolyte.


Would form an electrolyte solution?

Salt in water (if this is for apex) Explanation: because salt is made of two elements, sodium and chlorine, which easily dissolve into water into ions, they create an electrolyte solution. Remember that an electrolyte solution is a solution that generally contains ions, atoms or molecules that have lost or gained electrons, and is electrically conductive (from Google). Hope this helps!


Which would form an electrolyte solution?

A strong electrolyte is an electrolyte that exists in solution almost entirely as ions. An example is NaCl. When NaCl dissolves in water, it dissolves almost completely to give Na+ and Cl- ions.
