Question

explain chlor alkali process why it is called so name the substances obtained at cathode and anode write balanced chemical equation​

Answer 1

Answer:

answer is

Explanation:

Similarly to the Membrane Cell, chloride ions are oxidized at the anode to produce chlorine, and at the cathode, water is split into caustic soda and hydrogen. The diaphragm prevents the reaction of the caustic soda with the chlorine. A diluted caustic brine leaves the cell

Answer 2

Explanation:

When electricity is passed through an aqueous Solution of Sodium Chloride i.e. Nacl ( called brine) , it decomposes to form Sodium hydroxide

The process is called the Chlor-alkali process

In this process Chlorine gas is given off at the anode

Hydrogen gas at the Cathode

Sodium hydroxide Solution is formed near the cathode

The three product formed in this process i.e. Sodium hydroxide , hydrogen and Chlorine gas  are all useful to us

Hydrogen gas at cathode use for fuels and ammonia for fertilisers

While Chlorine gas at anode use for Water treatment , PVC and pesticides

Sodium hydroxide is use for Soaps and Detergents and paper making

If we take reaction between hydrogen and Chlorine it also formed a product is useful

           H2+CL2=>2HCL

Hydrochloric acid is use for Cleaning Steel , Medicines etc .

If We take Sodium hydroxide and Chlorine it gives us BLEACH

BLEACH is use for Household bleaches and beaching fabric

_______________________________________________

The process is named Chlor-alkali process due to the reason as below :

The process is named as Chlor-alkali process because of the product formed -Chlor for Chlorine and alkali for Sodium hydroxide

___________________________________________________

The Reaction involved in this Process is

2NACL+2H2O=>2NAOH+CL2+H2
