How to Prepare Chlorine gas, Hydrogen gas and sodium hydroxide through Membrane Cell|Nelson's Cell

The Nelson cell is a type of electrolytic cell used in the production of chlorine gas, hydrogen gas, and sodium hydroxide. It is named after its inventor, William Nelson.
In a Nelson cell, a mixture of sodium chloride and water is fed into the anode compartment. The anode is made of graphite and is surrounded by a steel mesh. The cathode is made of mercury, which acts as both the electrode and the electrolyte.
When an electric current is passed through the cell, sodium chloride is split into its constituent ions: sodium ions migrate towards the cathode and are reduced to form liquid sodium, while chlorine ions migrate towards the anode and are oxidized to form chlorine gas.
At the same time, hydrogen gas is produced at the steel mesh surrounding the anode. The hydrogen gas and the liquid sodium then react to form sodium hydroxide and more hydrogen gas. The sodium hydroxide is collected in the cathode compartment and can be further processed for various industrial uses.#NelsonCell #ElectrolyticCell #ChemicalManufacturing #SodiumChloride #ChlorineGas #HydrogenGas #SodiumHydroxide#fscchemistry #10thchemistry #chlorine #redoxreaction
