उत्तर
Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
Explanation:
At the anode, the following oxidation reactions are possible.
\[\ce{Cl^{-} (aq) -> 1/2 Cl_{2}(g) + e^{-}; E = 1.36V}\]
\[\ce{2H2O(l) -> O2(g) + 4H^{-} (aq) + 4e^{-}; E = 1.23V}\]
Lower value of Ecell is perferenced but due to overvolatage chlorine is liberated at anode.
