## Electrolysis of NaBr(aq)

### Standard Reduction Potentials Table
Refer to this table of standard reduction potentials to answer the question:

| Reduction half-reaction | Potential (V) |
|-------------------------|---------------|
| \( F_2(g) + 2e^- \rightarrow 2F^- (aq) \) | +2.87 |
| \( O_2(g) + 4H^+ (aq) + 4e^- \rightarrow 2H_2O(l) \) | +1.23 |
| \( Br_2(l) + 2e^- \rightarrow 2Br^- (aq) \) | +1.07 |
| \( Ag^+ (aq) + e^- \rightarrow Ag(s) \) | +0.80 |
| \( 2H_2O(l) + 2e^- \rightarrow H_2(g) + 2OH^- (aq) \) | -0.83 |
| \( Na^+ (aq) + e^- \rightarrow Na(s) \) | -2.71 |

**Notes:**
- At \([H^+] = 10^{-7} M\), the electrode potential for \( O_2(g) + 4H^+ (aq) + 4e^- \rightarrow 2H_2O(l) \) under these nonstandard conditions is \( E = +0.82 V \).
- At \([OH^-] = 10^{-7} M\), the electrode potential for \( 2H_2O(l) + 2e^- \rightarrow H_2(g) + 2OH^- (aq) \) under these nonstandard conditions is \( E = -0.41 V \).

### Part A
**Question:**
What is produced at each electrode in the electrolysis of NaBr(aq)?

**Task:**
Drag the appropriate items to their respective bins: Anode, Cathode, Not produced.

**Available Options:**
- \( Br_2(l) \)
- \( H_2(g) \)
- \( Na(s) \)
- \( O_2(g) \)

**Sorting Example:**
1. **Anode**: \( Br_2(l) \)
2. **Cathode**: \( H_2(g) \)
3. **Not produced**: \( Na(s) \
