Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
of sodium chloride is electrolysed in brine: . Find the mass of each product. Use , , and .
A salt has the positive ion of a base and the negative ion of an acid. Strong acid + strong base gives a neutral salt; strong acid + weak base, an acidic one; weak acid + strong base, a basic one. Electrolysis of brine gives NaOH, and .
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Step 1. Moles of salt. .
Step 2. NaOH. .
Step 3. Chlorine. .
Step 4. Hydrogen. .
Answer: of NaOH, of chlorine and of hydrogen.
