Question:
Identify the correct representation of reaction occurring during chloralkali process
(а) 2NaCl(l) + 2H2O(l) ———–>2NaOH(s) + Cl2(g) + H2(g)
(b) 2NaCI(aq) + 2H2O (aq) ———–> 2NaOH(aq) + Cl2(g) + H2 (aq)
(c) 2NaCl(aq) + 2H2O(l) ———–> 2NaOH(aq) + Cl2(aq) + H2(g)
(d) 2NaCl (aq) + 2H2O (l) ———–> 2NaOH (aq) + Cl2(g) + H2(g)
Solution:
(d). It is the correct answer since the physical states of all the species involved are correct.
