1.	Write down the preparation and uses of chlor alkalie process
Answer» The most common\xa0chloralkali process\xa0involves the electrolysis of aqueous sodium\xa0chloride\xa0(a\xa0brine) in\xa0a\xa0membrane cell.\xa0A\xa0membrane, such as one made from Nafion, Flemion or Aciplex, is\xa0used\xa0to prevent the reaction between the\xa0chlorine\xa0and hydroxide ions.\xa0The chlor-alkali electrolysis process is used in the manufacture of chlorine,\xa0hydrogen, and\xa0sodium hydroxide\xa0(caustic) solution. Of these 3, the primary product is chlorine. Chlorine is 1 of the more abundant chemicals produced by industry and has a wide variety of industrial uses.
