Sodium hydroxide is manufactured by the electrolysis of a strong solution of sodium chloride (called brine). As a redult, chlorine (X) is evolved at anode while hydrogen at cathode. For details, consult section 2.13. Chlorine reacts with lime water containing salked lime to form bleaching power (Y)
`underset(("Lime Water"))(Ca(OH)_(2)) + underset((X))(Cl_(2))` to underset("Bleaching powder"(Y))(CaOCl_(2))+H_(2)O`
