Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
A

Sodium metal It is manufactured by electrolysis of a fused mixture of NaCl (40%) and CaCl 2 (60%) in Down's cell at 873 K. Na liberated at the cathode is collected, in kerosene oil while CL is evolved at the anode.

At cathode

At anode

Sodium hydroxide It is manufactured by electrolysis of an aqueous solution of NaCl (brine) in Castner - Kellner cell using mercury cathode and carbon anode. Sodium metal which is discharged at the cathode combines with mercury to form sodium amalgam. C1 2 .

At cathode amalgam

At anode

The sodium amalgam thus obtained is treated with water to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.

2Na - amalgam + 2H 2 O 2NaOH + 2Hg + H 2

Sodium carbonate It is obtained by Solvay ammonia process. When CO 2 is passed through a concentrated solution of brine (aqueous solution of NaCl ) saturated with ammonia, NaHCO 3 gets precipitated. NaHCO 3 on subsequent heating gives Na 2 CO 3 .

NaCl + NH 3 + CO 2 +H 2 O NaHCO 3 +NH 4 C1

2NaHCO 3 Na 2 CO 3 + CO 2 + H 2 O

It reacts with C1 2 to form calcium hypochlorite, Ca(OCl) 2

2Ca(OH) 2 + 2C1 2 CaCl 2 +Ca(OCl) 2 + 2H 2 O
