Principle of Nelson cell: Electrolyte used in this process is aqueous NaCl(Brine).

Process:Nelson cell consists of a "U" shaped perforated steel tube which is quoted with asbestos in inner surface.A carbon rod suspended into it acts as cathode .The electrolyte used is brine solution.The roof of the equipment acts as anode.The asbestos lining separates the cathode and the anode.Steam is sent from the bottom.

NaCl <==> Na+ + Cl- (in solution)

At Cathode 2H2O+2e <==>H2 + 2OH-

Na+ OH- <==> NaOH

At anode 2Cl- --> Cl2 + 2e

What is a brief description of the action of the sodium-potassium pump?

The sodium-potassium pump is a transmembrane protein in a cell membrane. It keeps large concentrations of sodium ions outside the cell, and potassium ions inside the cell. It does this by pumping the sodium ions out, and the potassium ions in.


Where are lipids manufactured?

Lipids are manufactured in the ribosome of the cell. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum also manufactures that lipids to be used in a cell.

Why are sodium potassium pumps important?

They regulate sodium and potassium in your cells. If they fail the sodium rushes in. Water follows sodium and too much water in a cell causes the cell to rupture and die.


The sodium-potassium pump releases?

Hmm. Maybe Sodium and Potassium? Or another answer is it transfers Na+ (sodium) out of the cell and K+ potassium into the cell.
