Answer: One formula unit of NaCl consists of one cation, whose chemical symbol is
and one anion whose chemical symbol is 
Explanation:
For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.
The cation is formed by the metal sodium which forms
and the anion is formed by non metal chlorine which forms
.
For a formula unit of sodium chloride, the charges have to be balanced , thus the valencies of ions are exchanged and the neutral compound result. Thus
and
combine to form neutral

Some of the laws regarding gas, can apply to ideal gas (volume expansion does not occur when the gas is heated),:
- Boyle's law at constant T, P = 1 / V
- Charles's law, at constant P, V = T
- Avogadro's law, at constant P and T, V = n
So that the three laws can be combined into a single gas equation, the ideal gas equation
In general, the gas equation can be written

where
P = pressure, atm
V = volume, liter
n = number of moles
R = gas constant = 0.08206 L.atm / mol K
T = temperature, Kelvin
To choose the formula used, we refer to the data provided
Because the data provided are temperature, pressure, volume and moles, than we use the formula PV = nRT
T= 10 +273.15 = 373.15 K
V=5.5 L
n=2 mol

V=8.3 L
P=1.8 atm
n=5 mol

T = 12 + 273.15 = 285.15 K
V=3.4 L
P=1.2 atm

The law of conservation of mass or principle of mass conservation states that for any system closed to all transfers of matter and energy, the mass of the system must remain constant over time, as system's mass cannot change, so quantity cannot be added nor removed. Hence, the quantity of mass is conserved over time.
The law implies that mass can neither be created nor destroyed, although it may be rearranged in space, or the entities associated with it may be changed in form. For example, in chemical reactions, the mass of the chemical components before the reaction is equal to the mass of the components after the reaction. Thus, during any chemical reaction and low-energy thermodynamic processes in an isolated system, the total mass of the reactants, or starting materials, must be equal to the mass of the products.
According to the Law of Conservation, all atoms of the reactant(s) must equal the atoms of the product(s).
As a result, we need to balance chemical equations. We do this by adding in coefficients to the reactants and/or products. The compound(s) itself/themselves DOES NOT CHANGE.
