  • Brine is the concentrated solution of sodium chloride (NaCl)
  • When an electric current passed through sodium chloride (brine), then the chloride gas is evolved at positive electrode, Hydrogen gas at negative electrode and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is formed.
  • 2NaCl+2H_{2}O(l)\rightarrow 2NaOH(aq)+Cl_{2}(g)+H_{2}(g)
