Question

balance the chemical equation
Na + H2O --->NaOH + H2​

Answer 1

Answer:

2Na + 2H2O ----> 2NaOH + H2

Answer 2

Explanation:

Following are the easy steps to balance the equation:

Step 1: Write the Unbalanced Chemical Equation Let us consider an unbalanced equation

Na + H2O –> NaOH + H2

Step 2: Write Down Number of Atoms Write down the number of atoms of each element present on both reactant as well as product side

Add Coefficients To Balance the Mass in a Chemical Equation Note that the coefficients that are to be added must be a whole number and one coefficient added applies to all the atoms present in that one particular molecule.

2Na+2H2O—> 2NaOH+H2

After balancing the equation we get the number of reactants and products

Since the number of atoms is equal on both the side of the equations, the given chemical equation is balanced.

Hence the balanced chemical equation is

2Na+2H2O—> 2NaOH+H2
