Electrolysis.
 
Does anyone know the reactions at the cathode and anode for the electrolysis of:

1. NaCl

2. NaBr

a. Electrolysis for melting salts is simple: Na for the cathode and Cl2 or Br2, respectively at the anode

b. Electrolysis for the aqueous solutions: NaOH for the cathode and Cl2 or Br2, respectively for the anode.
