Answer:

The Chlor-Alkali process involves passing electricity through a salt brine (NaCl) solution with chlorine gas being produced at the (+ve) electrode (anode) and hydrogen gas at the (-ve) electrode (cathode), a process known as electrolysis with an important by-product of the process being the production of caustic soda ...

In chlor-alkali process, hydrogen gas in released at​ cathode (negative electrode).

Explanation:

  • The chlor-alkali process is the process which is done in industries by the "electrolysis of sodium chloide".
  • The process is conducted in the brine solution, which is the Nacl's aquoeus solution.
  • In this brine electrolysis, at anode the chloride (Cl^-) is oxidized to form chlorine. And at cathode, the water is reduced to form hydrogen gas and hydroxide.
  • The net process in the electrolysis of this brine is to produce sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and the chlorine gas.

The Reaction which involved in the brine electrolysis process is ,

          2Nacl(aq) + 2H_2O (l)  \rightarrow  2NaOH (aq) + Cl_2 (g) + H_2 (g)
