Diaphragm electrolytic cell as compared to mercury electrolytic cell_____________________?

Correct answer: A. Requires lesser investment for similar capacity

  • A. Requires lesser investment for similar capacity
  • B. Requires less specific power consumption for the production of chlorine
  • C. Produces 70% NaOH solution
  • D. All A , B. and C

Explanation

A diaphragm cell produces dilute caustic soda, not 70% solution, and generally consumes more power than a mercury cell. Its main advantage among these choices is lower investment for a comparable capacity.
