Answer:

Choices 2 and 4

Explanation:

HCL is formed witthe the elements Hydrogen and Chlorine. Whatever is on the left side of the equation must match up with the right side of the equation.

2. H + Cl --> HCl (we have one hydrogen and one chlorine)

4. 2HCl --> H2 + Cl2 (since the two is distributed to both the H and the Cl, H has 2 and Cl has two on the left side AND on the right side of the equation)
