okay, this doesnt make sense to me, when studying equilibrium, we added Nacl and HCl the BCE is
NaCl + Hcl <-----> Nah and Cl 2 ?????? <--correct?
Is Cl2 a diatomic molecule or is it ionized in the water.

Look, the Cl2 is going to stay ionized in the water as 2Cl^-1. Otherwise, you'd get a poisonous gas produced, and they're not going to let you do that in a chem lab. Cl2 (g) is poisonous, but ionized aqueous soln of Cl- will stay in solution, and is not dangerous.
The precipitate is NaCl. table salt.

NaCl+HCl<------> Na(+) aqueous + H(+) aqueous + 2 Cl(-) aqueous
Everything will disassociate in this case.
