WINNERS RULE THE WORLD LIKE SCIENCE LEARN SCIENCE LOVE SCIENCE An aqueous solution of sodium chloride is called brine. When electricity is passed through brine, it decomposes to form sodium hydroxide. The process is called the chlor- alkali process because of the products formed-chlor for chlorine and alkali for sodium hydroxide. Chlorine gas is given off at the anode and hydrogen gas at the cathode. So totally three products are produced in this process. One is a sodium hydroxide another two are chlorine gas and hydrogen gas. 2NaCl(aq) + 2H2O(l) ----> 2NaOH(aq) + Cl2(g)+H2(g) 1.What is brine? 2. What is the electrolysis of brine called? 3.
