Expert Solution

Step 1

The given reaction is :

$2 N a + 2 H C l \to H_{2} + 2 N a C l$

Balanced chemical reaction:

The chemical in which the number of atoms of each element and the charge on the reactants sides same as on the products side is known as the balanced chemical equation.

Analyzing the number of atoms of each element as follows:

Element	Number in Reactants	Number in Products
Sodium (Na)	2	2
Hydrogen (H)	2	2
Chlorine	2	2

The number of atoms of each element on the reactants side is the same as on the products side.

Therefore the given reaction is in the balanced chemical equation.
