Question

Which are the important products obtained from the chlor alkali process ? Write one use of the base obtained by this process

Answer 1

Answer:

The Chlor-alkali industry uses brine (saltwater) to produce chlorine, sodium hydroxide (NaOH or caustic soda), and hydrogen. An electric current is passed through the brine, to form hydrogen gas at the negative electrode and chlorine gas at the positive electrode, leaving a solution of sodium hydroxide.

Examples – When NaCl is used, NaOH, Hydrogen and Chlorine are produced.
