<span>Separate this redox reaction into its component half-reactions.
Cl2 + 2Na ----> 2NaCl
reduction: Cl2 + 2 e- ----> 2Cl-1
oxidation: 2Na ----> 2Na+ & 2 e-
2) Write a balanced overall reaction from these unbalanced half-reactions:
oxidation: Sn ----> Sn^2+ & 2 e-
reduction: 2Ag^+ & 2e- ----> 2Ag

A synthesis would be A+B-->AB its combining, decomposition is AB-->A+B, its the breaking up of a substance.
Answer:
If one of the reactants is a solid, only the particles at the surface can partake in the reaction. Breaking the reactant into smaller pieces increases the surface and more particles are exposed to the reaction mixture. This results in an increased frequency of collisions and therefore a faster rate of reaction
