Molecular hydrogen is produced as a byproduct in the industrial production of NaOH by electrolysis of aq \(NaCl\) solution
\(NaCl → Na^+ + Cl^–\)
\(H_2O ⇌ H^+ + OH^-\)
Cathode : \(2H_2O + 2e → H_2 + 2OH^–\)
Anode : \(2Cl^– → Cl_2 +2e\)
\(NaOH\) is crystallised from the remaining part of electrolyte.
For the separation of two immiscible liquids, which method is used?
Electrolysis of 600 mL aqueous solution of NaCl for 5 min changes the pH of the solution to 12. The current in Amperes used for the given electrolysis is ….. (Nearest integer).
