Question

balance this equation with explanation .
Na+H2o ➡NaOH+H2.

Answer 1

Hi friend, Here's the required answer:-

After balancing the equation:-

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

Hope this helps you...

Answer 2

Hey there !

Na + H₂O ---> NaOH + H₂

Balancing a chemical equation means there should be equal no: of atoms on both the sides.

Here on one side there are 2 atoms of Hydrogen (H)
But on the Left side there [ NaOH ] there is only 1 atom of hydrogen.

Hence ,to make it balanced we multiply it by 2.
Then it becomes 2NaOH

As here there are 2 atoms of sodium on the right side , we need to multiply the left side which has sodium, with 2.
Hence Na becomes 2Na

Hence , the balanced equation is ==>

2Na + 2H₂O -----> 2NaOH+ H₂
