Question

Balance the chemical equation
Na + o2 ---- Na2o

Answer 1

Answer:

The balanced chemical equation for the above chemical reaction is

$\large{\boxed{\sf 4Na + O_2 \implies 2Na_2O}}$

The above reaction is balanced.

Since,

• 4 Na on both reactant and product side
• 2 O₂ on both reactant and product side

Additional Information:

$\star$ Sodium(Na) reacts with Oxygen(O₂) to give Sodium oxide(Na₂O)

$\star$ During this reaction lot of light and heat is produced

$\star$ Molar mass of Na₂O is 61.9789 g/mol

$\star$ This compound is base anhydride of Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH)

Answer 2

Answer:

sodium + oxygen = sodium oxide

na + o2 = na2o
