What is the overall reaction for the formation of sodium chloride (NaCl) according to the passage?
Options
- A2 Na(s) + Cl 2 (g) → 2 Na+ Cl-(s)
- B2 NaCl(s) → 2 Na+(g) + 2 Cl-(g)
- C2 Na(s) → 2 Na+(g) + 2 Cl-(g)
- D2 Na+(g) + Cl-(g) → 2 NaCl(s)
Correct answer
A. 2 Na(s) + Cl 2 (g) → 2 Na+ Cl-(s)
Step-by-step solution
The passage provides the overall reaction for the formation of sodium chloride as 2 Na(s) + Cl 2 (g) → 2 Na+ Cl-(s).
