Question

Which is the balanced chemical equation representing the reaction between sodium metal and chlorine gas? Na + Cl2 NaCl

a. 2Na + Cl2    NaCl

b. Na + Cl2    NaCl c. Na + Cl2    2NaCl d. 2Na + Cl2     2NaCl

Answer 1

the balanced chemical equation representing the reaction between represent sodium metal (Na) and chlorine gas (cl2) is as below


2 Na + Cl2→ 2 NaCl

2 moles of sodium metal ( Na) reacted with 1 mole of gas chlorine gas (cl2) and 2 moles of sodium chloride (NaCl)
