Answer: The chemical equation is written below.

Step-by-step explanation:

When chromium metal reacts with chlorine gas, it leads to the production of chromium chloride.

The chemical equation for the formation of chromium chloride follows:

$2Cr(s)+3Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2CrCl_3(s)$

This is a type of combination reaction because two small substances react to form one large substance.

Hence, the chemical equation is written above.
