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.
