Figure 4 shows the apparatus used to electrolyse a solution of sodium chloride (brine).

Diagram of an electrolysis cell showing two vertical graphite electrodes immersed in sodium chloride solution. The electrodes are connected to a direct current (d.c.) power supply. Bubbles of gas are shown forming at both the anode and the cathode.

Inert graphite electrodes are used in this process.

Give two reasons why graphite is a suitable material for these electrodes.
