you can't obtain sodium through electrolysis in water. Sodium (and Potasium as well) is so reactive element that it breaks down water molecule and forms solution of base NaOH. However you could try to separate cathode from water with special membrane or separator-gel. As far as I know no one extracted sodium with this method.
hey backyard.. can you tell me if i take a wire.. that can be plugged in electricity (thing?) like a phone charger.. then i split it in 2 and then i connect the copper wires from in it to 2 carbon electrodes will this work? like in sodium chloride solution (: my method ATM is by getting it from matches.. not completely pure and alot of mess when getting it :/ please reply (:
This makes Sodium chlorate... if thoes rods are Carbon ....

You have to melt salt, the electrolyse it. The only problem is the temperature needed to melt NaCl.
