When the concentrated aqueous solution of substance X is electrolysed, then NaOH, Cl₂ and H₂are produced. Name the substance X. What is the special name of this process?

Academic Chemistry NCERT Class 10

The substance X that produces NaOH, Cl2, and H2 is Sodium chloride (NaCl).

The process is called the Chlor-alkali process as the products formed are chlor-chlorine and alkali- NaOH.

There are three substances X, Y and Z. The substance X does not have a fixed melting point or boiling point and it still shows the inpidual properties of its constituents. The substance Y is a pure substance which occurs in nature as such. The substance Y has a fixed melting point and boiling point but it cannot be broken down into simpler substances by any chemical means. The substance Z is also a pure substance whose properties are entirely different from those of its constituents. The substance Z can however, be divided by electrolysis into two substances which belong to the same class of substances as Y.(a) What type of substance could X be? Name one substance like X.(b) What type of substance could Y be? Name one substance like Y.(c) What type of substance could Z be? Name one substance like Z.(d) Which process involves absorption or release of an appreciable amount of energy : formation of substance X or formation of substance Z?(e) Name the three groups into which all the substances like Y are divided on the basis of their properties.
A solid substance P which is very hard is used in the construction of many buildings, especially flooring. When substance P is heated strongly, it decomposes to form another solid Q and a gas R is given out. Solid Q reacts with water with the release of a lot of heat to form a substance S. When gas R is passed into a clear solution of substance S, then a white precipitate of substance T is formed. The substance T has the same chemical composition as starting substance P.(a) What is substance P? Write its common name as well as chemical formula.(b)What is substance Q?(c)What is gas R?(d)What is substance S? What is its clear solution known as?(e)What is substance T? Name any two natural forms in which substance T occurs in nature?
