Step-by-step explanation:

When 1 mL of dilute hydrochloric acid is added to 1 g of sodium metal, the following products are formed:

* **Sodium chloride (NaCl)**: This is a white solid that is soluble in water.

* **Hydrogen gas (H2)**: This is a colorless, odorless gas that is flammable.

The reaction is as follows:

```

2Na + 2HCl → 2NaCl + H2

```

The sodium metal reacts with the hydrochloric acid to form sodium chloride and hydrogen gas. The hydrogen gas is released as bubbles.

This reaction is a very exothermic reaction, meaning that it releases a lot of heat. The solution will become hot and may even boil.
