Answer 6

The link sumerizes everything, the process of electrolysis will basically breakdown the sodium sulfate solution. Now because the charge on sodium is +, the compound will gradually start to breakdown and the sodium ions will travel through the solution and form a thin layer on the cathode-, the rest of the sulfate ions will remain where it is because of sulfate a - and the anode is +.
i had to retype this whole s**** -_-
