2Na+Cl2->2NaCl
The chemical reaction for 2Na+Cl2 -> 2NaCl (sodium chloride) is an example of synthesis. Because when you add 2 or more simple compounds together such as Na(sodium) and Cl(chlorine) it will make salt.
Chemical Reaction
The difference between the reactants and the products is that the reactants are substances which are presented at the beginning of a reaction. Reactants can be an element, a molecule or a mixture of molecules. Products are new substances formed after a reaction. They are formed by the reaction between reactants.

Reactants
To determine whether or not the equation is balanced, one must
write out the equation (2Na+Cl2 -> 2NaCl). Then one must list your
elements(Na and Cl) into a T-chart and label columns (reactants and products) as illustrated below:
2Na+Cl2
Cl=2
Na=2
Products

Cl=2
Na=2
How to Find Atoms in an Equation
To find the number of atoms in each element presented in the equation. First you look at the equation which is (2Na+Cl2 -> 2NaCl ), look at the coefficients which is 2Na and 2NaCl. So the 2 is like saying Na+Na there for there are 2 Na in the reactants. It goes for the same in the product which is 2NaCl so its NaCl+NaCl. There are 2 Na and 2 Cl in the product. Then to find how many Cl there is in the reactants, look at the subscripts which is Cl2 so it just saying there are 2 of Cl.
Law of Conservation of Mass
If an equation is balanced, having the same number of atoms on each side, it demonstrates the law of conservation of mass. The equation 2Na+Cl->2NaCl is balanced therefore, it is an example of the law of conservation of mass.
