321059 In the extraction of chlorine by electrolysis of brine

1 Oxidation of \(\mathrm{\mathrm{Cl}^{-}}\)ion to chlorine gas occurs
2 Reduction of \(\mathrm{\mathrm{Cl}^{-}}\)ion to chlorine gas occurs
3 For overall reaction \(\mathrm{\Delta G^{\circ}}\) has negative value
4 A displacement reaction takes place
