Question

Three products, ____, ____ and ____ are produced in the chlor-alkali process?

• A. Chlorine, Hydrogen, Na2CO3
• B. Chlorine, Oxygen, Na2CO3
• C. Hydrogen, Chlorine, NaOH
• D. Oxygen, Hydrogen, NaOH

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Hydrogen, Chlorine, NaOH

The chlor-alkali process produces Chlorine, Hydrogen, and Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) through the electrolysis of brine This process is taken place by electrolysis of aqueous chloride. When electricity is passed through an aqueous solution of sodium chloride (called brine), Chlorine gas is given off at the anode, and hydrogen gas at the cathode. Sodium hydroxide solution is formed near the cathode..
