✓ Answer:
C
2NaCl(aq) + 2H2O(l) → 2NaOH(aq) + Cl2(g) + H2(g)
The chlor-alkali process involves the electrolysis of sodium chloride (NaCl) solution to produce sodium hydroxide (NaOH), chlorine gas (Cl2), and hydrogen gas (H2). The chemical reaction is: 2NaCl(aq) + 2H2O(l) → 2NaOH(aq) + Cl2(g) + H2(g). This process is important for producing chemicals like chlorine and sodium hydroxide, which are used in many industries like water treatment and soap making.
