Trystan Huang · Answer 1

The elements are Cl and Na, the formula is NaCl

Mary Jane · Answer 2

Cl and Na combine to form NaCl.

Explanation:

In neutralization reactions, an acid and a base combine to produce a salt and water. The salt forms from an anion from the acid and the cation from the base. For example:

HCl (aq) + Na (OH) (aq) - > NaCl (aq) + H2O (l)

acid base salt water

where (aq) means in aqueous medium and (l) means liquid.
