Solution

Balanced chemical equation for reaction:
NaCl+H2SO4NaHSO4+HCl
(Temperature for the reaction <200C)
Although it is a reversible reaction, it goes to completion as hydrogen chloride continuously escapes as a gas. The reaction can occur up to the stage of the formation of sodium sulphate on heating above 200C.
