My chemistry teacher was never happy with me LOL, it has been long I studied thick chemistry books as now I am in computer field so I also don’t know what chemical is left at the end but it looks like some Na and Copper thingy. But whatever is left, is some pungent smelling liquid and very effective in removing fountain pen ink and even thumb pad inks.

So, what chemical is left at the end? I can’t quite figure it out (I forgot most of my chemistry), but I reckon:

The positive Sodium (Na+) ions would go to the Copper Cathode, and negative Chloride(Cl-) ions would go to the Carbon Anode. So chlorine gas escaped at the carbon rod, so you’d be left with Sodium ions, and of course Hydrogen ions (H+) and oxygen (O-2) ions… You’re basically making Sodium Hydroxide?

My chemistry is vague (and maybe wrong in places!) I know – but is it just creating a NaOH solution? Could you confirm my thinking for me?
