प्रश्न
Chlorine gas was prepared using electrolysis of brine solution. Write the chemical equation to represent the change. Identify the other products formed in the process and give one application of each.
उत्तर
Any other relevant equation in the chain reaction.
\[\ce{2NaCl(aq) + 2H2O(l) -> 2NaOH(aq) + Cl2(g) + H2(g)}\]
OR
\[\ce{NaCl -> Na+ + Cl-}\]
\[\ce{2Cl- -> Cl2 + 2e- (At anode)}\]
\[\ce{H2O -> H+ + OH-}\]
\[\ce{2H+ + 2e -> H2 (At cathode)}\]
\[\ce{Na+ + OH- -> NaOH}\]

The Salt Story
From: The New Indian Express 9 March 2021
The salt pans in Marakkanam, a port town about 120 km from Chennai are the third largest producer of salt in Tamil Nadu. Separation of salt from water is a laborious process and the salt obtained is used as raw materials for manufacture of various sodium compounds.
One such compound is Sodium hydrogen carbonate, used in baking, as an antacid and in soda acid fire extinguishers.
The table shows the mass of various compounds obtained when 1litre of sea water is evaporated.
| COMPOUND | FORMULA | MASS OF SOLID PRESENT /g |
| Sodium Chloride | NaCl | 28.0 |
| Magnesium Chloride | MgCl2 | 8.0 |
| Magnesium Sulphate | MgSO4 | 6.0 |
| Calcium Sulphate | CaSO4 | 2.0 |
| Calcium Carbonate | CaCO3 | 1.0 |
| TOTAL AMOUNT OF SALT OBTAINED | 45.0 | |
What is the saturated solution of Sodium Chloride called?
Sodium hydroxide is termed an alkali while Ferric hydroxide is not because ______.
The industrial process used for the manufacture of caustic soda involves electrolysis of an aqueous solution of compound 'X'. In this process, two gases 'Y' and 'Z' are liberated. 'Y' is liberated at cathode and 'Z', which is liberated at anode, on treatment with dry slaked lime forms a compound 'B'. Name X, Y, Z and B.
