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 () 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) + (l) 2NaOH (aq) + (g) + (g)
