Question

1} What is chlor Alkali process? 2} Explain the action of Baking soda on fried items?

Answer 1

$\mathcal{\huge{\underline{\underline{\orange{Solution:-}}}}}$

Answer 1 :-

When electricity is passed through an aqueous solution of sodium chloride it decomposes to form sodium hydroxide. The process is called the chlor-alkali alkali process because of the products formed: chlor for chlorine and alkali for Sodium Hydroxide. Chlorine gas is given off at the anode and hydrogen gas at the cathode.

An aqueous solution of sodium chloride is called brine.

2NaCl (aq) + 2H2O(l) ---(electrolysis)---> 2NaOH(aq) + Cl2(g) + H2(g).

Answer 2 :-

Baking soda is used to leaven many “quick breads” like pancakes, muffins, cakes, and fried foods. Heat accelerates the acid-base reaction as well as causes decomposition of the baking soda, both of which produce the leaving gas. The leavening action of baking soda is often so rapid that it can be observed in real time.

Answer 2

Answer:

1. When electricity is passed through an aqueous solution of Sodium Chloride(NaCl), it decomposes to form Sodium Hydroxide(NaOH), Chlorine(Cl) and Hydrogen(H2) gas. This process is called chlor-alkali process because of the products formed, that is.. Chlor for Chlorine formed at the anode and Alkali for Sodium Hydroxide formed at the cathode.
