Explanation:

It is a type of decomposition reaction. When electricity is passed through an aqueous solution of sodium chloride (called brine), it decomposes to form sodium hydroxide. The process is called the chlor-alkali process because of the products formed- chlor for chlorine and alkali for sodium hydroxide.

Following is the chemical equation for the process

2NaCl (aq) + 2H2O (l) --------> 2NaOH (aq) + Cl2 (g) + H2 (g) Chlorine gas is liberated at the anode while hydrogen gas is liberated at the cathode.
