### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Base (B)**: - The question states that the base absorbs moisture and turns sticky. This property is characteristic of sodium hydroxide (NaOH), which is hygroscopic in nature. - Additionally, sodium hydroxide is a by-product of the chloralkali process. 2. **Chloralkali Process**: - The chloralkali process involves the electrolysis of brine (a concentrated solution of sodium chloride). The balanced chemical equation for this process is: ...
