Production of chlorine gas and sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) solution

Current

(1)

The production of chlorine gas and sodium hydroxide solution (caustic soda solution (NaOH_(aq))) is the chemical transformation of sodium chloride solution (NaCl_(aq)) brine to chlorine (Cl_2(1,g)) and sodium hydroxide solution (caustic soda solution (NaOH_(aq))) that has a concentration of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) equal to or greater than 14%.

(2)

The production of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) must be 1:1.13 times the produced weight of chlorine (Cl₂).

(3)

The following chemical reaction must be involved in the chemical transformation:
