Caustic Soda Learning Objectives: Describe the process of the electrolysis of brine Describe the uses of sodium hydroxide

Draw the practical set up you would need for electrolysis

INDUSTRIAL USES OF ELECTROLYSIS To extract reactive metals such as ALUMINIUM, sodium, magnesium etc from their compounds. This is EXPENSIVE due to the large amounts of electrical energy needed. Aluminium is extracted from bauxite (Al2O3). 2. Electrolysis of BRINE (salt solution) to produce CHLORINE (for disinfectants and plastics) HYDROGEN (for ammonia fertilisers, margarine) SODIUM HYDROXIDE (for soap and cleaning agents) 3. Purifying copper. The copper for wiring etc needs to be more pure than that produced in a blast furnace. Electrolysis is used to convert impure copper to pure copper see below see below

Electrolysis of Brine Practical

Questions 1 What did the universal indicator show you about the type of substance formed in: a the anode dish b the cathode dish? 2 Chlorine gas is given off at the anode. How can you tell? 3 Suggest the name of an acid that might be formed in the anode dish. 4 Chlorine is an important ingredient in bleach. What observation can you make that shows the bleaching property of chlorine? 5 Why would the experiment not have worked without the filter paper between the two dishes? 6 What would be the problem with connecting the two dishes up with a piece of metal wire? 7 Give the formulae of the two ions found in sodium chloride. 8 Which of these ions will be attracted to: a the anode b the cathode?

Electrolysis of brine The NaCl will split into Na+ ions and Cl- ions. Water splits into H+ ions and OH- (hydroxide) ions. So what do we think will happen during electrolysis? Remember – Na is VERY reactive, it is much more likely to exist as an ion than hydrogen.

Now let’s see what actually happens

Electrolysis of brine The H+ and Cl- ions are discharged at the electrodes.

Electrolysis of brine Hydrogen comes off at the cathode ( - ) 2H+(aq) + 2e- H2(g) Hydrogen is …… oxidised or reduced?

Electrolysis of brine Chlorine comes off at the anode ( + ) 2Cl(aq) - 2e- Cl2(g) Chlorine is …… oxidised or reduced?

Electrolysis of brine The Na+ and OH- ions stay in solution. They join together to form sodium hydroxide. This is a very important alkali

CATHODE ANODE H+ and Na+ OH- and Cl- INDUSTRIAL ELECTROLYSIS OF BRINE Chlorine gas Hydrogen gas BRINE (NaCl solution) CATHODE H+ and Na+ ANODE OH- and Cl- 2H+ + 2e- H2 2Cl- 2e- + Cl2 OH- left in solution so concentration grows Start: Sodium chloride solution (neutral) End: sodium hydroxide solution (alkaline) Na+ left in solution so concentration grows

Industrial chlorine production from electrolysis of brine

Hydrogen Used to make margarine (helps to make the oils in the margarine spread on your bread) Used as a fuel (already important in space rockets, but may be the fuel of cars after the oil age)

Sodium hydroxide Detergents and soap Paper

Sodium hydroxide Purifying bauxite to extract aluminium Rayon and acetate fibres

Chlorine Bleach Killing bacteria in water

Chlorine Solvents (used in dry cleaning) Hydrochloric acid (HCl)

Summary What are the 3 products? What they used for? Why do the dishes need to kept separate?
