Question

Write the equation of chlor alkali process name the product formed

Answer 1

Answer:

2NaCl + 2H2O ------>  2NaOH + Cl2 + 2H2

the product formed is sodium hydroxide.

Explanation:

This reaction is known as chlor-alkali because as a product chlorine is formed and sodium hydroxide is formed as an alkali.

Answer 2

Answer :

Chemical equation (balanced):-

• $\rm{2NaCl(aq)+2H_2O(l)\longrightarrow{}2NaOH(aq)+Cl_2(g)+H_2(g)}$

Products formed:-

• Sodium hydroxide (formed near cathode) - main product.
• Chlorine gas (given off at anode).
• Hydrogen gas (given off at cathode).

Additional Information :

• Chlor-alkali process: On passing electricity through an aqueous solution of sodium chloride (brine), it undergoes decomposition to form sodium hydroxide, chlorine and hydrogen gas.

• Chlor-alkali process got its name from the products formed during this process. Chlorine (chlor) & sodium hydroxide (alkali).

• Products formed during this process, namely- sodium hydroxide, chlorine gas & hydrogen gas has its own uses in industry.
