Identify the correct representation of reaction occurring during chloralkali process.
$2 N a C l (l) + 2 H_{2} O (l) \to 2 N a O H (l) + C l_{2} (g) + H_{2} (g)$
$2 N a C l (a q) + 2 H_{2} O (l) \to 2 N a O H (a q) + C l_{2} (a q) + H_{2} (a q)$
$2 N a C l (a q) + 2 H_{2} O (a q) \to 2 N a O H (a q) + C l_{2} (g) + H_{2} (g)$
$2 N a C l (a q) + 2 H_{2} O (l) \to 2 N a O H (a q) + C l_{2} (g) + H_{2} (g)$

Sodium chloride in water is a brine solution which gives sodium hydroxide in aqueous solution and hydrogen and chlorine gases- It is known as chloralkali process- It is an industrial process for the electyrolysis of sodium chloride- It is the technology which is used to produce chlorine and caustic soda-sodium hydroxide- on commercial scale-
