Answer 1

In the synthesis reaction you mentioned, two atoms of sodium (Na) combine with one molecule of chlorine gas (Cl₂) to produce sodium chloride (NaCl). The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is:

\[ 2 \text{Na} + \text{Cl}_2 \rightarrow 2 \text{NaCl} \]

From this equation, we can see that:

• 2 moles of Na reacts with 1 molecule of Cl₂.
• This produces 2 moles of NaCl.

If you're asking how many molecules of NaCl are produced from a specific amount of Na or Cl₂, please provide that amount, and I'll be happy to help you calculate it!
