Question

Which statements are true of the reaction below? 2na(s) + cl2(g) 2nacl(s) Check all that apply. A - NaCl is a product B - Na(s) is a product C - A chemical reaction does not happen D - Cl2 is a gas

Answer 1

A - NaCl is a product

D - Cl2 is a gas

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the chemical reaction;

2Na(s) + Cl2(g) → 2NaCl2

• Sodium metal reacts with chlorine gas to form sodium chloride. Sodium is in solid state, chlorine is in gaseous state and Sodium chloride is in solid state.
• In the chemical reaction, sodium and chlorine are reactants while sodium chloride is the product.
• Additionally the chemical reaction above is balanced so as to obey the law of conservation of mass.
