Question

In the following reaction, the sodium and chlorine are ____. 2NaCl->2Na + Cl^2

Answer 1

Answer : The sodium and chlorine are the products.

Explanation :

Balanced chemical reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the number of atoms of individual elements present on the reactant side must be equal to the product side.

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$2NaCl\rightarrow 2Na+Cl_2$

In the balanced chemical reaction, the species present on the left side of the reaction is known as reactant and the species present on the right side of the reaction is known as product.

From this we conclude that, the sodium, $Na$ and chlorine, $Cl_2$ are the products and sodium chloride, $NaCl$ is the reactant.

Hence, the sodium and chlorine are the products.

Answer 2

They are products of the reaction.
