Which statement explains why an over-potential must be used in the Chlor-Alkali process? 02 will be released at the anode instead of Cl2. O 02 will be released at the cathode instead of H2. NAOH product solution will be contaminated with NaCl. Sodium will be oxidized at the anode instead of chlorine. Sodium will be reduced at the cathode instead of hydrogen.

During an electrolysis experiment, the following species are present in solution: H+, CH3COOH, CH3COO-, Na+, SO42-, H2O. The lead electrode dipped in the solution serves as the anode. Why can't the polyatomic anion SO42- be oxidized in this experiment? because sulfur in this anion has its highest possible oxidation number of +6 because sulfur in this anion cannot give up any more electrons because SO42- cannot act as a reducing agent all statements above are correct
