@legoboy1234567890 The anode forms chlorine gas, which is highly soluble in water, oxygen gas, which is not. The cathode forms hydrogen gas and sodium hydroxide.
@linuxpowerification Yes, you could use Sodium Bicarbonate for instance. That would not release chlorine gas, just carbon dioxide gas. A low concentration of Sodium Bicarbonate dissolved in the cup is all you would need to create your hydrogen and oxygen gases from this electrolysis.
@bingyancai88 Actually, it depends on the concentrations of the ions in solution if oxygen gets oxidized. The Estandard voltage for the oxidation of oxygen: 2H2O(l)---> O2(g) + 4H+ + 4e- is -(1.23V), and is very close to the Estandard voltage of chloride ion oxidation voltage of -(1.36V): 2Cl- ---> Cl2(g). So, depending on on how conentrated the chloride ions are, you will either get chlorine gas, or oxygen gas. That is why it is important to know your stoichiometry levels BEFORE you do this.
@linuxpowerification yea more often you end up with sodium hydroxide witch isnt used in pyrotechnics -___- i need a new charger because im not getting enough power.... and i also need to make air tight seals so my wires and anode/cathodes wont sizzle from all of the evaporation.... iv actually started a fire use an 1 amp ac dc charger and hydrogen gas..... i need thicker wires lol
@linuxpowerification it will always produce chlorine gas... This electrolysis will also produce sodium chlorate.... if you run it long enough and then filter and boil the water off... you are left with 65% + pure sodium chlorat used in fireworks and rockets ^___^ check some of my videos

H2O+ NaCl ->(e-) NaOH + H2 + Cl2

into sodium and chlor..

what about chlorine and sodium if its salt water

@pyrotec101
you mean sodium chlorat or sodium hydroxide? :)

@pyrotec101
Duh what??? it could be other salt that would not release chlorine.
