Chemguide: Support for CIE A level Chemistry


Learning outcome 9.4(g)

This statement is about the manufacture of chlorine using a diaphragm cell. If you have already done any electrolysis, this is just a repeat of what you will have learnt in statement 6(b).

Before you go on, you should find and read the statement in your copy of the syllabus.


Read the page about manufacturing chlorine in the Inorganic Chemistry section of Chemguide. You only need to go as far as the end of the section about the diaphragm cell. You do not need to know about the membrane cell.

In addition to what is on that page, in the teacher support material, CIE say they want the overall equation for the cell.
