hey mate.....☺️☺️☺️☺️

Nelson cell : It is an electrolytic cell , which is used commonly in electrolytic processes like production of sodium hydroxide from brine solution.

In the cell, there is a U shaped perforated steel tube, which has asbestos coating in its inner surface. In the cell, Carbon is taken as cathode and the upper roof of the cell acts as anode and the two electrodes are separated by the asbestus coating. Here, the brine (NaCl) solution acts as electrolyte.

In Nelson's cells, the products and the byproducts are Chlorine gas, Sodium hydroxide and Hydrogen.

Explanation:

  • Nelson's cell is a type of electrolytic cell in which the electrolysis of brine solution takes place.
  • Brine solution (\[10\% \,NaCl\]) acts an electrolyte in the cell.
  • A perforated steel tube lined with asbestos on the inner side, suspended in a steel tank, acts as an anode.
  • The anode is a graphite rod dipped in NaCl solution.
  • The following reactions take place at the anode and cathode in the process:

        Anode: \[2C{l^ - } \to C{l_2} + 2{e^ - }\]

        Cathode: \[2{H_2}O + 2{e^ - } \rightleftharpoons {H_2} + 2O{H^ - }\]

                         \[N{a^ + } + O{H^ - } \rightleftharpoons NaOH\]

  • Therefore, Chlorine gas, Sodium hydroxide and Hydrogen are produced in Nelson's cell.
