Question

How is Sodium hydroxide manufactured? in Industries Name the process. write the chemical equation of the
reactions involved.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

During the manufacture of sodium hydroxide (NaOH), hydrogen gas (H2) and chlorine gas Cl2 (X) are formed as by-products. Chlorine gas reacts with lime water [Ca(OH) 2 ]to produce bleaching powder (CaOCl2), a bleaching agent. Thus X is chlorine gas (Cl2 gas).
