Question

what is chlor alkali process with an example​

Answer 1

Answer:

Chlorine gas is given off at the anode and hydrogen gas at the cathode. An aqueous solution of sodium chloride is called brine. 2NaCl (aq) + 2H2O(l) ---(electrolysis)---> 2NaOH(aq) + Cl2(g) + H2(g).

Answer 2

Chlorine is a chemical element, one of roughly 90 basic building blocks of matter. Chlorine's tendency to combine with other elements and compounds has been used to produce thousands of essential products, from drinking water disinfectants to solar energy panels to replacement knee and hip joints. Due to its chemical reactivity, chlorine is rarely present in nature by itself as elemental chlorine, and typically exists bonded to other elements in the form of chemical compounds such as sodium chloride.

(Chlorine is found in)

Chlorine is also found in the minerals carnallite (magnesium potassium chloride) and sylvite (potassium chloride). 40 million tonnes of chlorine gas are made each year from the electrolysis of brine (sodium chloride solution). This process also produces useful sodium hydroxide.
