To clear it up the confusions: The electrolysis of a NaCl solution produces NaOH and Cl2 which can react to form NaOCl or NaClO3 (with higher temps), others said this before. But for this process the electrodes have to be close to each other, but in this video the electrodes are far away from each other and chlorine can escape. But still not all NaCl will be converted to NaOH but the bigger the space between the electrodes the more NaOH and less NaOCl will be produced. Hope this helps

Just one little doubt. Can I use pencil graphite as electrode? It may sound stupid, but I want to know from someones that actually knows xD

So I'm new to electrolysis and synthesis in general. I used a 9v battery, wrapped copper wire around the nodes and then led those wires to two carbon rods that I took out of some old batteries. I left it there for about 3 hours and I got a light blue solution that managed to eat through one of the copper wires ( ! ). The rods were as far apart as possible. Any clue as to what went wrong, or tips as to other electrodes?

@TPDR08 you can't have any copper touches the water or you'll make copper hydroxide
