Question

Choose the correct option:

• A. In Chlor-alkali process, Cl₂ is given off at anode and H₂ is given off at cathode.
• B. In Chlor-alkali process, Cl₂ is given off at cathode and H₂ is given off at anode.
• C. In Chlor-alkali process, NaHCO₃ is produced.
• D. All of the given options are correct.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

In Chlor-alkali process, Cl₂ is given off at anode and H₂ is given off at cathode.

The chloralkali process (also chlor-alkali and chlor alkali) is an industrial process for the electrolysis of NaCl. It is the technology used to produce chlorine and sodium hydroxide (caustic soda), which are commodity chemicals required by industry.In this process, $C{l}_2$ is given off at anode and $H_2$ is given off at cathode.
