Yes, it is possible to make NaOH this way.
However, when NaCl is being electrolysed, Cl2 and H2 gasses are released (and NaOH stays in solution). Cl2 reacts with NaOH, forming NaClO, so chlorine gas should be kept away from solution.
Also, it should not be forgotten that hydrogen gas is flammable and if one breathes in chlorine gas, his lungs might (and when higher amounts are breathed in - will) burn and be literally coughed out.

Can you separate hydrogen in the sodium chloride solution?
NaCl itself will not render any hydrogen, however you can separate hydrogen from the water through the process of electrolysis. During electrolysis of NaCl solution, hydrogen will be evolved at cathode.
What substance is left in the solution after electrolysis?
assuming u mean electrolysis of water, it would be whatever electrolyte u used( NaOH, NaCl, NaCO3) whatever. it is not consumed in the reaction as it is only a catalist
How many milliliters of 2 M NaCl solution are required to make 1 liter of 0.4 M NaCl solution?
200 milliliters
How many grams of NaCl are used to make up 1 liter of a .25M NaCl solution?
The mass of NaCl is 14,61 g.
What is the molarity of a solution containing 117 grams of sodium chloride in enough water to make a 40.0 L solution?
[117(g NaCl) / 58.5(g NaCl/mol NaCl)] / 40.0(L solution) = [117/58.5]/40.0 = 2.00(mol NaCl) / 40.0(L) = 0.0500 mol NaCl / L solution = 0.0500 M
Why do you use molten NaCl in electrolysis instead of an aqueous solution of NaCl?
Molten salt electrolysis is used to obtain sodium and chlorine. Electrolysis of the water solution is used to obtain sodium hydroxide and hydrogen.
Can you make NaOH from NaCl at home?
You need a laboratory and also this electrolysis is not recommended to be made at home.
Can you separate hydrogen in the sodium chloride solution?
NaCl itself will not render any hydrogen, however you can separate hydrogen from the water through the process of electrolysis. During electrolysis of NaCl solution, hydrogen will be evolved at cathode.
What chemicals can be obtained from the electrolysis of sodium chloride?
Electrolysis of a water solution: sodium hydroxide, hydrogen, chlorine..Electrolysis of molten NaCl: sodium, chlorine.
What is the electrolysis of sodium chloride?
1. The products of the molten sodium chloride electrolysis are sodium and chlorine. 2. The products of the water solution of sodium chloride electrolysis are sodium hydroxide and hydrogen.
Is electrolysis of NaCl a chemical change or not?
Electrolysis is a chemical change.
What substance is left in the solution after electrolysis?
assuming u mean electrolysis of water, it would be whatever electrolyte u used( NaOH, NaCl, NaCO3) whatever. it is not consumed in the reaction as it is only a catalist
How many grams of NaCl would you use to make 100ml of a 4M solution?
The Molecular Weight of NaCl = 58.5 So to make 1L of 4M NaCl solution you need 4*58.5=234g of NaCl So to make 100mL of the above solution you need 23.4 grams of NaCl
How you would break down sodium chloride into its constituent elements?
It could be done by electrolysis of a molten solution of NaCl, (not a dilute solution).
Where do they get the element chlorine from?
Actually Chlorine is the second member of the halogen family(GrVII), so it is collected from the sea salt (e.g. NaCl) via electrolysis and some other separation technique. N.B: On Electrolysis, NaCl solution produces Hydrogen(H2) and Chlorine (Cl2), not Na & Cl2. If you wanna get Na & Cl2 from the electrolysis of NaCl it must be in molten state.

Why KCl or KF is added in the electrolysis of molten NaCl?
To decrease melting point of NaCl
