What is chlor alklai reaction?

Question

Answer

《》Chlor Alklai Reaction : The chloralkali process also chlor-alkali and chlor alkali  is an industrial process for the electrolysis of sodium chloride. It is the technology used to produce chlorine and sodium hydroxide /caustic soda,[1] which are commodity chemicals required by industry.....

Answer

When electricity is passed through an aqueous solution of sodium chloride, it decompses to form sodium hydroxide... this is called chlor--alkali process...

Answer

Hello ashmi,

When electricity is passed through an aqueous solution of sodium chloride it decomposes to form sodium hydroxide. The process is called the chlor-alkali alkali process because of the products formed: chlor for chlorine and alkali for Sodium Hydroxide. Chlorine gas is given off at the anode and hydrogen gas at the cathode.

【】An aqueous solution of sodium chloride is called brine.

【】2NaCl (aq) + 2H2O(l) ---(electrolysis)---> 2NaOH(aq) + Cl2(g) + H2(g).

Thanks for asking the question, keep learning.

Answer

Electrolysis of brine is called chlor alkali reaction...

Answer

Electrolysis of brine is called Chlor-Alkali Process

Answer

When electricity is passed through the aqueous solution of sodium chloride( brine ), it decomposes to form sodium hydroxide NaOH. This process is called chlor-alkali process. It is called so because the end products formed chloroplasts for chlorine and alkali for sodium hydroxide
