Chlorine gas is produced industrially by the electrolysis of sodium chloride solution using inert electrodes. The equation for the electrolytic process is: 2NaCl (aq) + 2H₂O (1)-> 2NaOH (aq) + H₂(g) + Cl₂ (9) The reduction potentials for the electrode reactions are: Cl₂ +2e-> 2C1 E = +1.36V 2H₂O (1) + 2e --> H₂(g) +20H (aq) E= -0.41V What is the minimum voltage required for this electrolytic process to proceed? (K:1) Select one: O 3.13V O 1.77V O 0.95V O 3.54V O 1.90V
