Answer 2

Explanation:

When electricity is passed through an aqueous solution of sodium chloride, the three products are obtained which is hydrogen, chlorine and sodium hydroxide. But this process is called chlor-alkali process because here, chlor stands for chlorine and alkali for sodium hydroxide. The amount of hydrogen obtained is very less, thus, it is not given in the name of the process and the process named as chlor-alkali process.
