Question

What is chlor-alkali process? Explain in detail.​

Answer 1

It is the process through which chlorine and sodium hydroxide are formed as the products.

2NaCl + 2H2O= 2NaOH +Cl2 +H2

Cl is abstained at anode and H2 is obtained at cathode.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

When electricity is passed through an aqueous solution of sodium chloride (brine), it decomposes to form sodium hydroxide.This process is called chlor-alkali process.

2NaCl + 2H₂O ⇒ 2NaOH + Cl₂ + H₂

Uses of NaOH obtained from chlor-alkali process

• It is used for de-greasing metals, soaps and detergents
• It is used for making paper and artificial fibres.
