How do you write solid sodium chloride is produced by the reaction of solid sodium and chlorine gas?

To write the chemical equation for the production of solid sodium chloride from solid sodium and chlorine gas, you start with the reactants: sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl2). The balanced equation is 2 Na(s) + Cl2(g) → 2 NaCl(s). This indicates that two moles of solid sodium react with one mole of chlorine gas to produce two moles of solid sodium chloride.
