Question

A chemical plant uses electrical energy to decompose aqueous solutions of NaClNaCl to give Cl2Cl2, H2H2, and NaOHNaOH:

2NaCl(aq)+2H2O(l)→2NaOH(aq)+H2(g)+Cl2(g)2NaCl(��)+2H2O(�)→2NaOH(��)+H2(�)+Cl2(�)

 
 

Part A

If the plant produces 1.9×106 kg1.9×106 kg  (1900 metric tons) of Cl2Cl2  daily, estimate the quantities of H2H2 produced.        
Express your answer using two  significant figures.
