Question
. Diatomic chlorine and sodium hydroxide (lye) are commodity chemicals produced in large quantities, along with diatomic hydrogen, via the electrolysis of brine, according to the following unbalanced equation:
NaCl(aq)+ H2O(l) → NaOH (aq) + H2(g) + Cl2(g)
Write balanced molecular, complete ionic, and net ionic equations for this process.

Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
The molecular equation is depicted below;
The balanced molecular reaction equation is;
2 NaCl (aq) + 2 H2O (l) → 2 NaOH (aq) + Cl2 (g) + H2 (g)
The complete ionic equation is;
2Na^+(aq) + 2Cl^-(aq) + 2H2O(l) —> 2Na^+(aq) + 2OH^-(aq) + Cl2(g) + H2(g)
Hence, net Ionic equation;
2Cl^-(aq) + 2H2O(l) —> 2OH^-(aq) + Cl2(g) + H2(g)
