Question

what products are formed when sodium reacts with gaseous chlorine? select all products formed.
nacl
h₂
na
cl₂
h₂o

Explanation:

Sodium (\(Na\)) reacts with gaseous chlorine (\(Cl_{2}\)) in a synthesis reaction. The chemical equation for this reaction is \(2Na + Cl_{2}
ightarrow 2NaCl\). In this reaction, sodium donates an electron to chlorine, forming ionic bonds in sodium chloride (\(NaCl\)). There is no hydrogen (\(H\)) involved in the reaction (so \(H_{2}\) and \(H_{2}O\) are not products), and sodium (\(Na\)) and chlorine (\(Cl_{2}\)) are reactants, not products in an un - limited reaction scenario.

Answer:

NaCl
