Question

why is electrolysis of brine called chlor alkali process write the chemical equation involved in this process

a few crystals of hydrated copper sulphate are heated in a dry test tube. Enlist any two observations

Answer 1

Answer: when electricity is passed through an solution of Nacl it decomposes to form NaOH. it is called  chlor alkali because products formed are chlorine referring to chlor and NaOH to alkali since SODIUM HYDROXIDE IS A WATER SOLUBLE BASE

The process is called the chlor-alkali alkali process because of the products formed: chlor for chlorine and alkali for Sodium Hydroxide. ... An aqueous solution of sodium chloride is called brine. 2NaCl (aq) + 2H2O(l) ---(electrolysis)---> 2NaOH(aq) + Cl2(g) + H2(g).

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Electrolysis of brine is called chloro alkali process because of the products formed i.e. chloro for chlorine and alkali for sodium hydroxide.

2NaCl + 2H2o give rise to 2NaOH + Cl2 + H2
