Question

Explain the balanced chemical equation for the electrolysis of brine solution

Answer 1

2NaCl + 2H2H2O →→ 2NaOH + H2H2 + Cl2Cl2

The left hand side represents the reactants; common salt dissolved in water to form brine.

The right hand side represents the products:

NaOH(sodium hydroxide solution) in the catholytic section(the cathodic solution)

Hydrogen gas which is given off at the cathode.

Chlorine gas is given off at the anode.

hope it helps !!!!

plz mark my answer as brainliest:)

Answer 2

Answer:

2H2O +2NaCl-->2NaOH + H2 + Cl2
