Which consequence likely occurs when industrial NaCl electrolysis experiences insufficient aqueous hydration?

A)Metallic sodium deposition and explosion
B)Chlorine gas overproduction accumulates rapidly
C)Hydrogen gas evolution halts completely
D)Hypochlorite ions unexpectedly stabilize

💡 Explanation

Metallic sodium deposition occurs because **ionic conductivity** drops drastically when water is deficient, therefore Na+ ions cannot diffuse quickly. This rather than aqueous electrolysis dominates, leading to concentrated sodium metal formation, because low water favors reduction to the metal.
