An unrealistic one!

Explanation:

Chemical equations conserve mass and charge. Given that the proferred equation does not balance mass (why not?), it cannot be accepted as a model that represents chemical reality.

H2(g)+Cl2(g)2HCl(g)

Is this reaction acceptable?

What about this one?

12H2(g)+12Cl2(g)HCl(g)
