Answer:

The given reaction is type of chloro-alkali process.

Explanation:

Chloro-alkali process is employed for the formation of NaOH on the industrial scale.

  • For the preparation of NaOH, in this process the electricity transferred through the salty water.
  • When electricity passes through the aqueous solution of NaCl. It brakes into NaOH and releases Cl_{2} and H_{2} gas along with it.

  At anode:          2Cl^{-}+2e^{-}  →   Cl_{2}

 At cathode:        2H_{2}O+2e^{-}   →   H_{2}+2OH^{-}

The overall reaction:

                 2NaCl(aq) + 2H_{2}O(l)   →   2NaOH(aq) + Cl_{2}(g) + H_{2}(g)
