In the formation of sodium chloride, what is the half reaction for the loss of electrons by sodium?
Options
- A2 Na(s) → 2 Na⁺(g) + 2e-
- BCl2(g) + 2e- → 2 Cl⁻(g)
- C2 Na(s) + Cl2(g) → 2 Na⁺ Cl⁻(s)
- D2 Na(s) + 2e- → 2 Na⁺(g)
Correct answer
A. 2 Na(s) → 2 Na⁺(g) + 2e-
Step-by-step solution
The passage provides the half reaction for the loss of electrons by sodium as 2 Na(s) → 2 Na⁺(g) + 2e-.
