Using Downs process, by the electrolysis of molten sodium chloride.
This is done in a Downs Cell in which the NaCl is mixed with calcium chloride to lower the melting point below 700 °C. As calcium is less electropositive than sodium, no calcium will be deposited at the cathode. This method is less expensive than the previous Castner process of electrolyzing sodium hydroxide.
What else can I help you with?
Sodium ethoxide prepration?
Sodium ethoxide can be prepared by reacting sodium metal with ethanol in an anhydrous environment. The reaction produces sodium ethoxide and hydrogen gas. Care should be taken when handling sodium metal due to its reactivity and the potential for violent reaction with water.
Who made the element Na?
Sodium is not synthetic. It is a natural element.
How sodium metal is prepared on large scale from common salt?
i dont know hahahaha
Is sodium a non metal?
sodium is a metal
It sodium a metal?
Yes. Sodium is a metal.
Is sodium an non metal?
No. sodium is a metal
Is sodium a non metal metal or a metaliod?
Sodium is a metal (an alkali metal).
Is sodium metal nonmetal metalliod?
Sodium is a metal (an alkali metal)
Is sodium oxide metal or nonmetal?
Sodium oxide is a compound made up of the metal sodium and the nonmetal oxygen. Sodium is a metal, while oxygen is a nonmetal.
Is there sodium in metal?
When you say "is there sodium in metal," it can be a little confusing to what you mean exactly. There is a Sodium metal if that's what you are asking.
What metal and non-metal makes sodium chloride?
Sodium and Chlorine. Sodium is a metal and chlorine is a halide gas.
What is metal in sodium hydroxide?
When a metal reacts with sodium hydroxide, it produces hydrogen gas and a metal hydroxide. For example, when aluminum reacts with sodium hydroxide, it forms sodium aluminate and hydrogen gas.
