In electrolysis of NaCl when Pt electrode is taken then H2 is liberated at cathode while with Hg cathode it forms sodium amalgam
- AHg is more inert than Pt
- BMore voltage is required to reduce H+ at Hg than at Pt
- CNa is dissolved in Hg while it does not dissolve in Pt
- DConc. of H+ ions is larger when Pt electrode is taken.

Correct answer: B
In electrolysis of NaCl when Pt electrode is taken then H2 liberated at cathode while with Hg cathode it forms sodium amalgam because more voltage is required to reduce H+ at Hg than Pt.
