Hope it helps.....

Answer 2

$\huge\underline\mathfrak\pink{AnswEr}$

• When current is passed through aqueous solution of salt gets dissociated and sodium hydroxide is produced. This is known as Chlor - alkali process because the products in this reaction are chlorine (chlore) and sodium hydroxide (base).

• $2NaCl(aq) + 2H2O(l) → 2NaOH + Cl2(g) + H2(g)$

• All these products are very important and useful in industry. Chlorine and hydrogen are the by products of this process.
