electrolysis of brine gives hydrogen, chlorine and NaOH
cocentrated brine( sodium chloride solution) is electrolysed industrially using a set-up like this :
the electrodes are made of an inert material - they won't react with electrolyte or the products of the product of the electrolysis
there are three useful products;
1) hydrogen gas is given off at the (-ve) cathods
2) chlorine gas is given off at the (+ve) anode
3) sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is formed from and ions left in solution
