Melting points of ionic substances

Forces between ions are generally much stronger than the forces between molecules, so the melting points of ionic substances tend to be higher. 

Because of the high melting points of ionic substances, the electrolysis of molten salts requires very high temperatures. Do we obtain the same products if we electrolyze the aqueous solution of a salt instead of the molten salt Frequently the answer is no because water itself might be oxidized to form O2 or reduced to form H2 rather than the ions of the salt. 

Because of the high melting points of ionic substances, the electrolysis of molten salts requires very high temperatures. (Section 11.8) Do we obtain the same...
