Answer: This is a type of Synthesis reaction.
Explanation:
- Synthesis reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which two or more substances combine to form a single substance.
[tex]A+B\rightarrow AB[/tex]
- Decomposition reactions are a type of chemical reactions in which a substance breaks down into two or more substances.
[tex]AB\rightarrow A+B[/tex]
- Combustion reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water.
[tex]Hydrocarbon+O_2\rightarrow H_2O+CO_2[/tex]
For the given reaction:
[tex]2Na(s)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2NaCl[/tex]
Here, 2 substances are combining together to form a single substance. Hence, it is considered as a synthesis reaction.
