1. This is not a good way to produce chlorine, sorry. If you were attempting to electrolyze the aqueous solution, you'd end up with a mixture of water vapor, chlorine, chlorine dioxide, and oxygen. If you were attempting to electrolyze the molten compound, this is a difficult process for anyone to carry out.

2. Find epsom salts, put into hot solution. Electrolyze, and over time it should turn blue. That's what I've got, anyway...
