Question

What is Nelson's cell?​

Answer 1

Answer:

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

Answer 2

Answer:

As result of electrolysis hydrogen is evolved at the cathode and chlorine at anode. The solution contains Sodium Hydroxide which can be recovered from it. Chlorine evolved at anode is expected to react with sodium hydroxide. Care should be taken so that they may not come in contact with each other. Process of electrolysis is carried in a special known as Nelson's cell.
