Calcium is manufactured by the electrolysis of a molten mixture of calcium chloride containing some$\mathrm{C}\mathrm{a}{\mathrm{F}}_2.$

${\text{CaCl}}_2\to {\text{Ca}}^{+2}+2{\text{Cl}}^{-}$

${\text{Ca}}^{+2}+2{\text{e}}^{-}\to \text{Ca}(Cathode)$

${2\text{Cl}}^{-}\to {\text{Cl}}_2+2{\text{e}}^{-}(Anode)$
