Product chlorine Equation CI ½CI 2 + e( ) (c) Product oxygen Equation 2OH ½O 2 + H 2 O + 2e( ) (2) species balance not O2- If CI 2 /O 2 in wrong places, can get equation marks Suggest a reason why the product in (b)(i) is formed in the industrial process rather than that in (b). OH more easily oxidised E value less positive / under standard conditions but CI present in greater concentration / OH much lower concentration OR argument based on use of chlorine eg reaction of chlorine with OH ions to form CIO or CIO 3 an equation some correct reference to temperature 5.
