QUESTION 2): Electrolytic processes [26] A factory produces 32 ton of Cl2 per day by electrolysis of a KCl solution. Answer the following questions: You are advised to elaborate on the various steps in your calculations in the QUESTION 2 sheet. a) shows how the current is calculated that needs to flow in order to produce 32 ton of C12 per day in case all cells were connected in parallel 4 b) How much KOH can be produced alongside the Cl2 (ton/day)? 5 c) How high is the factory's daily electricity bill (R/day) if 74% of all electrical energy is used for the electrolysis? 4 The total cost of running the factory is R250000 per day (salaries, financing cost, rental, d) insurance) + electrical cost +R4200/ton KCl + R15000/day for water. The sales price of KOH is R8000/ton. What is the minimal sales price of Cl2 in order to break even (R/ton 6 e) How many m3 of hydrogen is produced in the electrolyzer? The hydrogen that is formed is released into the atmosphere. 6 f) f) Why are the electrolysis cells in a real factory not placed in parallel? 1 Cost of electricity in our country is R1,8/kWh
