As the by-products obtained are chlor for chlorine and alkali for sodium hydroxide it is called as chlor alkali process.

Explanation:

• When a concentrated solution of sodium chloride is electrolysed,  and the by-products we will obtain are chlorine gas and sodium hydroxide solution which is alkaline in nature.

• Initially, at the cathode, we will obtain Hydrogen gas and at the anode, we will obtain Chlorine gas.

• Later the sodium hydroxide solution will be obtained as a product.

• As the products obtained in this process are chlorine and sodium hydroxide so we named this process as Chlor alkali process.
