Chapter , Problem 100AE

(choose chapter or problem)

A chemical plant uses electrical energy to decompose aqueous solutions of NaCl to give \(\mathrm {Cl_2,H_2}\), and NaOH:

\(2\ \mathrm{NaCl}(a q)+2\ \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l) \longrightarrow 2\ \mathrm{NaOH}(a q)+\mathrm{H}_{2}(g)+\mathrm{Cl}_{2}(g)\)

If the plant produces \(1.5 \times 10^6 \mathrm{\ kg}\) (1500 metric tons) of \(\mathrm {Cl_2}\) daily, estimate the quantities of \(\mathrm {H_2}\) and NaOH produced.
