Question

Explain why we cannot consume NaCl from direct combination

Answer 1

Chemical reactions convert reactants to products, whose properties differ from those of the reactants. Chemical equations are a compact and convenient way to represent chemical reactions. They have the general form

Reactant(s) → Product(s)

The arrow in the equation means "changes to" or "forms." The reaction of gaseous nitrogen with hydrogen to produce ammonia, NH 3 , is represented by the chemical equation

Although there are thousands of chemical reactions, a significant number of them, especially those that are not organic reactions, can be classified according to four general patterns: combination, decomposition, displacement, and exchange.

Answer 2

$\huge{ \boxed{ \boxed{ \mathbb{ \green{ ♡ \: ANSWER \: ♡ }}}}}$

Solid sodium chloride is an ionic compound. This means it consists of positively charged sodium ions (Na+) and negatively charged chloride ions (Cl−) arranged in a cubic lattice.

That is why we cant consume sodium chloride from direct combination
