It is written that on dissolving NaCl in water, NaOH and HCl is produced. Is this true?

Solution

False.

Reaction:
NaCl(solid) + H2O -> Na+(aqueous) + Cl-(aqueous) + H2O

Explanation:
On addition to water the Na+ section of NaCl is attracted to the oxygen side of the water molecules, while the Cl- side is attracted to the hydrogens' side of the water molecule.

This causes the sodium chloride to split in water, and the NaCl dissolves into separate Na+ and Cl- atoms. A hydration shell is formed around them which prevents Na+ and Cl- to form ionic bonds.
