Answer:
Sodium metal reacts rapidly with water to form a colourless basic solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). The reaction continues even when the solution becomes basic. The resulting solution is basic because of the dissolved hydroxide. The reaction is exothermic.

During the reaction, the sodium metal may well become so hot that it catches fire and burns with a characteristic orange colour..........
The balanced chemical equation is
2Na+2H2O→2NaOH+H2.......
