Where is the best place to carry out the electrolysis of brine on an industrial scale?

By the sea where there is plenty of salt water. (Brine)


What electrode do brine and chlorine produce after electrolysis?

Chlorine is produced at the anode. Brine at the cathodeOxidation reaction: 2 Cl- --'anode'--> Cl2 + 2e-


Why is electrolysing brine economically important?

it is because brine is an important source of two elements i.e. Sodium and Chlorine. Obtaining them is much easier by electrolysis then other methods.


Where is chlorine found or mined?

Chlorine is a gas so it is not mined. It is manufactured by the electrolysis of a brine (salt) solution.


Which of these substances is commonly refined by electrolysis brine rust titanium water?

The only one of the four that's "commonly refined by electrolysis" is brine, but whether it'll be refined by electrolysis or by just pouring it into a shallow container and allowing it to evaporate depends on the products you want to obtain.If you're trying to get sodium hydroxide, hydrogen and chlorine, electrolysis is the process for you. This is the Chloralkali process. If you want salt, evaporation is the way to go.


What valuable product are formed from the electrolysis of brine?

Chlorine gas and sodium hydroxide, which is why it's called the chlor-alkali process.


Why is the electrolysis of brine so important?

this is due to the fact that there is production of hydogen gas, chlorine gas and sodium hydroxide which has their individual characteristic importance


After electrolysis of brine solution what is the pH of that solution?

Slightly alkaline (from 7.1 to 8.5)


What is the effect of overpotential of hydrogen evolution in electrolysis of brine?

The effects will vary based on the amount of overpotential, the current density, the electrode materials used, and the concentration of the brine, but in general: - higher overpotential will increase the reaction rate - the brine will become warmer and thermodynamic efficiency decreases - side reactions are more likely to occur, such as electrode stripping and increased Cl2 production at anode


What is the process of manufacturing alkali from brine?

There are several processes, but the simplest is electrolysis with a diaphragm cell. Electricity is passed through the brine, hydrogen ions from the water are attracted to the cathode and discharged to form hydrogen gas. This results in a build up of hydroxide ions in the solution, effectively turning sodium chloride solution (brine) into sodium hydroxide solution (an alkali). You'll find this process in any standard chemistry text.
