Is 2Na Cl2 two elements or a compound?

Na and Cl are chemical elements; NaCl is a chemical compound.


What is coefficients na plus Cl2 - NaCl?

Na cl2


How do you calculate the balance equation for Na plus Cl2?

Balanced equation for Sodium and Chlorine is: 2Na + Cl2 --> 2NaCl


Balanced equation for sodium chloride?

The original equation is Na + Cl = NaCl. The thing is, chlorine is one of 7 elements that doesn't like to be alone, so it's always 'Cl2', making the equation Na + Cl2 = NaCl. However, this is no longer balanced. So what you do is add a '2' onto NaCl, making it Na + Cl2 = 2NaCl. Now the chlorine is balanced, but the sodium isn't. After that, to balance the sodium, you add a '2' in front of 'Na' making the equation 2Na + Cl2 = 2NaCl.


What are the examples of ionic equation?

Na+Cl2=NaCl


Is the properties of a compound are usually the same as the properties of the elements from which it is made?

No. The properties of a compound are always differentfrom the elements of which they are made. For example: sodium (Na) is a metal that reacts vigorously with water, and chlorine gas (Cl2) is a slightly green toxic gas. However, when they combine chemically, they produce common table salt, sodium chloride (NaCl).2Na + Cl2 ---> 2NaCl


When sodium chloride is formed from its elements each chloride atom one?

The reaction is:2 Na + Cl2 = 2 NaCl


How can salt be formed?

2 Na + Cl2 = 2 NaClNaOH + HCl = NaCl + H2O


How many moles of Na are there in 5 moles NaCl?

There are 5 formula masses of Na in 5 formula masses of NaCl, as indicated by the fact that the symbol for sodium has no explicit subscript in the formula of NaCl. Neither sodium nor sodium chloride has moles in the strictest sense, since neither of them is covalently bonded.

What will occur when 6.7 mols of Na reacts with 3.2 mols of Cl2?

you would get 6.4 mols of NaCl and 0.3 mols of unreacted Na


How do you balance Na F2 - NaF?

2NaCl + F2 -> 2NaF + Cl2 The first F in the equation has 2, so the second has to have 2 as well. But placing a 2 before the NaF, gives the Na 2. So add a 2 before the NaCl. and the Cl after the yield sign already has 2.
