Let's write the chemical equation for the described reaction.

We are given the names of the reactant and the products of the reaction. The gaseous chlorine reacts with solid sodium iodide and products are solid sodium chloride and iodine. Let's write this down as the word equation first:

chlorine gas+sodium iodidesodium chloride+iodine\ce{chlorine gas + sodium iodide -> sodium chloride + iodine}

To write the chemical equation we should substitute the names of the reactants and products in the word equation with their chemical formulas.
