Chlor Alkali Process

Chlor -alkali process: When electricity is passed through an aqueous solution of sodium chloride, it decomposes to form sodium hydroxide, chlorine gas and hydrogen gas.

•    When electricity is passed through the solution of sodium chloride, it splits up into sodium ions and chloride ion.

•    Sodium ion combines with the hydroxyl ion of water to form sodium hydroxide.

•    Chloride ions lose electron at anode and form chlorine atom.

•    Two chlorine atoms combine to form a chlorine molecule. 

Cl + Cl rightarrow Cl_2

•    H of water gains electron at cathode and change into hydrogen atom.
