Question

write the applications of product from chloro alkali reaction​

Answer 1

The electrolysis of brine is an industrial process for the electrolysis of sodium chloride. It is the technology used to produce chlorine and sodium hydroxide (lye/caustic soda), which are commodity chemicals required by industry. 35 million tons of chlorine were prepared by this process in 1987.

Answer 2

Answer:

When concentrated solution of sodium chloride is electrolysed it forms Chlorine gas, Sodium hydroxide and Hydrogengas. It is called chlor-alkali process because of the products formed- Chlor for chlorine gas and alkali for Sodium hydroxide. Chlorine is formed at anode and Hydrogen is formed at the cathode and Na(OH)2 is formed near the cathode.

The main products formed are: Chlorine and Sodium Hyroxide

Sodium hydroxide(Caustic Soda:

It is used for making soaps and detergents.

It is used for making artificial textile fibres(rayon)

It is used in the manufacture of paper.

It is also used for purifying bauxite ore from which aluminium metal is extracted.

It is used in oil refining, making dyes and bleaches.

Chlorine:

Chlorine is used to sterilize drinking water and in swimming poolsince it is a disinfectant.

It is used inthe production of bleaching powder and HCl.

It is also used to make plastics such as PVCs, Pesticides, Chlorofloroform, CFCs( Chloroflorocarbon), Carbon tetrachloride and paints.

It is used for making solvents for dry cleaning(trichloro ethane).
