<h3><u>
Answer;</u></h3>
B) Not Balanced
B) Sodium
B) Not Equal
The equation is <em><u>not balanced</u></em> because the number of <em><u>sodium atoms</u></em> is <em><u>not equal</u></em> on both sides of the arrow.
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- <em><u>According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of reactants should always be the same as the mass of the products in a chemical equation.</u></em> Therefore, the number of atoms of each element in a chemical equation should always be the same on both sides of the equation, that is the side of reactants and side of products.
- Therefore,<u><em>any chemical equation requires balancing to ensure that the number of atoms of each element is equal in both sides of the equation</em></u>. Balancing is a try and error process that ensures that the law of conservation of mass holds.
- Thus, the balanced chemical equation is;
2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl
