To double the amount of sodium, you need to add the coefficient of 2

Explanation:

When we write a chemical equation then the number present in front of each element or compound is known as the coefficient.

For example, [tex]2Na + Cl_{2} \rightarrow 2NaCl[/tex]

Here, 2 present before Na represents that amount of sodium is twice the amount of chlorine which leads to the formation of 2 moles of sodium chloride salt.

Therefore, we can conclude that to double the amount of sodium, you need to add the coefficient of 2.
