Trying with a graphic, hope it shows properly when posted.

The following sketch is on its side :
MgMgMgMgMgMgMgSSSSSSSSSS
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCSSSSSSSSSS
Picture it vertical, the left side down, with electrodes Mg-magnesium
and C-graphite. A voltaic cell.
SS-stainless steel rods connected on top of them.

ALL submerged in saltwater. Mg and C generate ~1.5 Volts, present in
the stainless steel rods.
The stainless steel rods with inverted test tubes surrounding them, so
IF bubbles are generated by electrolysis at the stainless steel rods,
the gas will accumulate in them.
Whatever be the gas; chlorine and hydrogen, or...

Will there be gas bubbles filling the test tubes?
Thanks.

Sure, a mix of gasses containing chlorine.

What is your point?
