Question

What is the balanced equation for sodium chloride?

Answer 1

Sodium chloride:

1. Sodium chloride with a chemical formula of NaCl is a crystalline solid compound at room temperature.
2. It is also known as table salt.
3. NaCl is a salt of strong acid and strong base.
4. It is highly soluble in water.
5. A combination reaction is one in which two or more substances (the reactants) are combined directly to form a single product (the product).
6. Sodium (Na) combines with chlorine (Cl₂₎ to form sodium chloride, or table salt (NaCl) is an example of a combination reaction.

Reaction:

$\underset{\mathrm{Sodium}}{2\mathrm{Na}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Chlorine}}{{\mathrm{Cl}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}\to \underset{\mathrm{Sodium}\mathrm{Chloride}}{2\mathrm{NaCl}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)}$
