1. Is this equation balanced? Explain your answer. Na + Cl2 → NaCl ?

It is not balanced since there are 2 Cl molecules on the left side, and only 1 on the right side. In order to balance this, you would need to make sure there are the same amount of all the molecules on both sides...

4Na + 2Cl2 = 4NaCl


Hope this helps :)
