Magnesium reacts with sodium fluoride to produce magnesium fluoride and elemental sodiun
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between magnesium and sodium fluoride can be written as:
Mg + 2 NaF -> MgF2 + 2 Na
In this reaction, a single magnesium atom reacts with two sodium fluoride molecules to form one molecule of magnesium fluoride and two individual sodium atoms. The products of the reaction are magnesium fluoride (MgF2) and elemental sodium (Na).
