When sodium reacts with chlorine, sodium chloride is produced. Andrew represented this reaction with this equation: Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl

When sodium metal reacts with chlorine gas, the product would be sodium chloride or the table salt. The balanced chemical reaction would be:

2Na + Cl2 = 2NaCl

IN balancing reactions, it is important to remember that the number of atoms at each side should be equal. Hope this answers the question.
