A chemical plant uses electrical energy to decompose aqueoussolutions of NaClNaCl to give Cl2Cl2, H2H2,and NaOHNaOH:
2NaCl(aq)+2H2O(l)→2NaOH(aq)+H2(g)+Cl2(g)
A.
If the plantproduces 1.5×106 kg1.5×106 kg (1500 metrictons) of Cl2Cl2 daily, estimate the quantitiesof H2H2 produced.
Express your answer using two significant figures.
B.
