The electrolysis of an aqueous solution of sodium chloride gives us three products. Name them.

In the process of electrolytic decomposition of aqueous solution of sodium chloride, it decomposes to form sodium hydroxide(near cathode), chlorine(at anode)and hydrogen gas(at cathode). This whole process is known as Chlor-Alkali process.
