Balanced equation: shown in photo
Chloride ions Cl –(aq) (from the dissolved sodium chloride) are discharged at the positive electrode as chlorine gas, Cl 2(g) sodium ions Na +(aq) (from the dissolved sodium chloride) and hydroxide ions OH –(aq) (from the water) stay behind - they form sodium hydroxide solution, NaOH(aq)
heating is repeated to ensure all water molecules have evaporated
Flame (fire) is the effect of a chemical reaction that produces visible light and heat. The chemical reaction is going on in the substance being burned.. Thats why coals glow and flames seem to leap into the air.
<span>If your reaction does not have a flame, then either it is not producing visible light or the reaction does not occur in the air above the substance.</span>
