Clark Nelson · Answer 1

A - NaCl is a product

D - Cl2 is a gas

Explanation:

Based on the chemical reaction;

2Na (s) + Cl2 (g) → 2NaCl2

Sodium metal reacts with chlorine gas to form sodium chloride. Sodium is in solid state, chlorine is in gaseous state and Sodium chloride is in solid state. In the chemical reaction, sodium and chlorine are reactants while sodium chloride is the product. Additionally the chemical reaction above is balanced so as to obey the law of conservation of mass.
