Answer 1

Answer:

yes ! hydrogen is the product of chloro alkali process

Explanation:

yet still it is in name of the process because of its amount

during this process the huge amount of chlorine gas is evolved also with sodium hydroxide but due to less amount of hydrogen it is not named on it

Answer 2

Answer:

There is no such reason why hydrogen isn't in the name of the "chlor-alkali" process. It is just that, in the electrolysis of sodium chloride, common salt, we get hydrogen gas, chlorine gas and sodium hydroxide as a product. Thus, to give a unique name to the reaction, it is termed as "chlor-alkali" process, chlor for chlorine gas and alkali for sodium hydroxide, which is an alkali.
