Could a reaction be self sustaining with ample UV, 1 unit of NaH, 1 Unit NaCl, 2 units HCl all are anhydrous
1. NaCl + HCl = NaH + Cl2
2. NaH + HCl = NaCl + H2
3. H2 + Cl2 = 2 HCl
Given that the last reaction is photosensitive with enough sunlight in a closed vessel could this reaction constantly repeat itself?
Or would something mess it up?

Re: Photosensitive reaction
The first one is not possible. Hydrid is very reactive. The second one works. The third one will get explosion.
