When electricity is passed through a solution of Sodium Chloride and water,
2NaCl + 2H2O ---------> 2NaOH + Cl2 + H2
NaCl + H2O + CO2 + NH3 ---------> NH4Cl + NaHCO3
2NaHCO3 ------------> Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2
This is how chemicals like Sodium Hydroxide, and Sodium Carbonate are Produced from Sodium Chloride.
