Problem

During the electrolysis of carnallite, MgCl2MgCl_2 is decomposed and not KClKCl. This is because of : (1) lower decomposition voltage of MgCl2MgCl_2 than that of KClKCl (2) reverse reaction MgCl2+2K⟶Mg+2KClMgCl_2 + 2K \longrightarrow Mg + 2KCl if KClKCl is decomposed under other experimental condition (3) both (a) and (b) (4) none of the above
