Question

Explain the chlor- alkali process briefly.​

Answer 1

heya, buddy !!

➲ When electricity is passed through an aqueous solution of sodium chloride called brine it decomposes to form sodium hydroxide. The process is called the chlor-alkali process because of the products formed- chlor for chlorine and alkali for sodium hydroxide. Following is the chemical equation for the process

➲ 2NaCl (aq) + 2H2O (l) → 2NaOH (aq) + Cl2 (g) + H2 (g)

Answer 2

Answer:

When electricity is passed through an aqueous solution of sodium chloride called brine it decomposes to form sodium hydroxide. The process is called the chlor-alkali process because of the products formed- chlor for chlorine and alkali for sodium hydroxide. Following is the chemical equation for the process

2NaCl (aq) + 2H2O (1) → 2NaOH (aq) + Cl2
