Question

A chemical plant uses electrical energy to decompose aqueous solutions of NaClNaCl to give Cl2Cl2, H2H2, and NaOHNaOH:

2NaCl(aq)+2H2O(l)→2NaOH(aq)+H2(g)+Cl2(g)

If the plant produces 1.7×106 kg1.7×106 kg (1700 metric tons) of Cl2Cl2 daily, estimate the quantities of H2H2 produced.

If the plant produces 1.7×106 kg1.7×106 kg (1700 metric tons) of Cl2Cl2 daily, estimate the quantities of NaOHNaOH produced.
