No, because there are 2 sodium, 2 Oxygen, 2 Hydrogen, 1 Copper, and 1 Chlorine on both the reactant and product side.
No, because there are 2 sodium, 2 Oxygen, 2 Hydrogen, 1 Copper, and 1 Chlorine on both the reactant and product side.

Yes, because there are 2 sodium, 1 Oxygen, 1 Hydrogen, 1 Copper, and 2 Chlorine on both the reactant and product side.
Yes, because there are 2 sodium, 1 Oxygen, 1 Hydrogen, 1 Copper, and 2 Chlorine on both the reactant and product side.

No, because there are 2 sodium, 2 Oxygen, 2 Hydrogen, 1 Copper, and 2 Chlorine on the reactant side but the product side is missing 1 of the Oxygen and 1 of the Hydrogen.

Question 1:

The type of equation represented is a double replacement reaction.

Question 2:

The correct response is: Yes, because there are 2 sodium, 2 Oxygen, 2 Hydrogen, 1 Copper, and 2 Chlorine on both the reactant and product side.

This indicates that the Law of Conservation of Matter is followed, as no atoms are lost or gained in the reaction; they are simply rearranged.
