2 NaCl + 2 H2) -----> 2 NaOH + H2 + Cl2
This electrolysis is used commercially to make caustic soda, NaOH, and chlorine gas. Some of the chlorine is reacted with the hydrogen to make hydrochloric acid.

When electric current is passed through brine(NACL) Sodium chloride decompose and hydrogen gas is liberates and form sodium hydroxide (NAOH)
EQUATION=
2Nacl(aq)+2H²0(l) will gives us =2Naoh(aq)+Cl(g)+H²(g)
EQUATION=
2Nacl(aq)+2H²0(l) will gives us =2Naoh(aq)+Cl(g)+H²(g)
