In the extraction of chlorine from brine _____________.

(i) \Delta \text {G}^{0} for the overall reaction is negative.

(ii) \Delta \text {G}^{0} for the overall reaction is positive.

(iii) \text {E}^{0} for the overall reaction has negative value.

(iv) \text {E}^{0} for the overall reaction has positive value.

The answer is the option (ii,iii). 3Cl^{-}+2H_{2}O\rightarrow 2OH^{-}+H_{2}+Cl_{2}

                                                 \Delta G^{0} for the reaction is +422\; kJ

Using \Delta G^{0}=-nFE^{0}, we get E^{0}=-2.2\; V
