Question

Which chemical is used to manufacture sodium hypochlorite​

Answer 1

Answer:

Sodium hypochlorite can be produced by the electrolysis of brine (a solution of sodium chloride) (Section 11.14).

On mixing: 2Na++2OH−+Cl2→Na+OCl−+Na+Cl+H2O

At the anode: 2Cl−–2e→Cl2

At the cathode: 2H2O+2e→2OH−+H2

Answer 2

Answer:

The chemical reaction

Explanation:

3 Chlorine and the caustic soda solution are reacted to form sodium hypochlorite bleach. This reaction can take place in a batch of about 14,000 gallons or in a continuous reactor. To create sodium hypochlorite, liquid or gaseous chlorine is circulated through the caustic soda solution.
