2 The membrane keeps the chlorine gas away
from the sodium hydroxide solution. It allows ions through but not molecules

3 i) at the positive terminal: Oxidation is electron loss 2Cl- - 2e- Cl2
During electrolysis; i) at the positive terminal: Oxidation is electron loss 2Cl e Cl2 Chloride ions form Chlorine molecules by depositing electrons at the positive anode ii) at the negative terminal: Reduction is electron gain 2H e H2 hydrogen ions form hydrogen molecules by receiving electrons from the negative cathode A reaction where both reduction and oxidation occurs is called a ‘Redox’ reaction.
