Question

sodium+water sodium hydroxide+hydrogen
the given equation represent the reaction of sodium metal with water

Answer 1

2Na(s)+2H2O(l)———>2NaOH(l)+H2(g)

Any metal when reacts with water in liquid state produces that metal oxide and hydrogen gas. Of all metal water reactions Sodium metal and water reaction is the most vigorous and exothermic.

Answer 2

Na + H2O ---› NaOH + H2. (Unbalanced)

2Na + 2H2O ---› 2NaOH + H2 (Balanced)

Sodium + Water ---› Sodium hydroxide + Hydrogen

Metal + Water ---› Metal hydroxide + H2 + Heat
