Question

The electrolysis of brine is also known as Chlor-alkali process because:

  1. Products obtained are chlorine and sodium chloride
  2. Products obtained are chlorine and calcium chloride
  3. Products obtained are calcium oxide and sodium hydroxide
  4. Products obtained are chlorine and sodium hydroxide

hintHint:

NaOH is an alkali.

The correct answer is: Products obtained are chlorine and sodium hydroxide


    • Brine is a high-concentration solution of salt (NaCl) in water (H2O).
    • The electrolysis of brine is also known as Chlor-alkali process because the products obtained in the process are chlorine and sodium hydroxide.
    • Chlorine is liberated in anode and hydrogen in the cathode.
