Question

Write balanced chemical equation for chloro-alaki process

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

$\diamond$ Chlor-alkali process is the formation or production of sodium hydroxide and chlorine by the electrolysis of sodium chloride

$\diamond$ In this reaction, brine solution or sodium chloride solution is made to undergo electrolysis

$\diamond$ On undergoing electrolysis, there is formation of chlorine gas and sodium hydroxide

$\diamond$ Chlorine produced forms at the anode and

$\diamond$ Sodium hydroxide forms in the electrolyte

$\diamond$ The balanced chemical equation of chlor-alkali is given by :

$\huge \text{\boxed{\boxed{2NaCl + 2H_2O \rightarrow 2NaOH + H_2 + Cl_2}}}$
