What product is formed in the chlor-alkali process?

Sodium hydroxide is the primary alkali product formed in the chlor-alkali process. The process involves the electrolysis of a concentrated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, commonly known as brine. The term 'chlor-alkali' is derived from the two main products: chlorine produced at the anode and an alkali produced near the cathode. The overall chemical reaction for this process is: 2NaCl(aq) + 2H2O(l) → 2NaOH(aq) + Cl2(g) + H2(g).
