Question

Burning of sodium in air observation and chemical reaction.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Sodium reacts with the oxygen in air to form sodium oxide, and traces of yellowish sodium peroxide.

4Na+O2→2Na2O

2Na2O+O2→2Na2O2

The sodium oxide formed will react with water to give sodium hydroxide.

Na2O+H2O→2NaOH  

The sodium hydroxide formed will react with carbon dioxide to give sodium carbonate, which is relatively unreactive to the atmosphere, barring the hygroscopicity.

2NaOH+CO2→Na2CO3+H2O

Answer 2

Answer:

Sodium reacts with the oxygen in air to form sodium oxide, and traces of yellowish sodium peroxide. ... The sodium hydroxide formed will react with carbon dioxide to give sodium carbonate, which is relatively unreactive to the atmosphere, barring the hygroscopicity.
