Answers
you have 2 Na on the left, so you need 2 Na on the right.
2Na + Cl2 = 2NaCl
Now check the Cl atoms. OK as is: 2 on both sides.
The equation tells you you need 1/2 as many Cl2 as you have NaCl.
So, 4 Cl2 to produce 8 NaCl.
2Na + Cl2 = 2NaCl
Now check the Cl atoms. OK as is: 2 on both sides.
The equation tells you you need 1/2 as many Cl2 as you have NaCl.
So, 4 Cl2 to produce 8 NaCl.
