following types of reactions takes place.
NaCl +H2O---->NaCl(aq)
NaCl (aq)------->Na+ +Cl- .this is endothermic reation reaction,since we have to supply some amout of heat to break NaCl into its ions.
H2O----->H+ +OH- ...this is also an endothermic reaction.
now ions recombine in the following manner.
Na+ + OH- ------>NaOH,,,this is an exothermic reaction.
H+ + H+------>H2 and and Cl- + Cl- ------>Cl2
the complete reaction can be written as
2NaCl + 2H2O -------> 2NaOH + Cl2 + H2
