Answer:
2Na + 2H2O = 2NaOH + H2.
This is the balanced chemical equation which turns up when the sodium (Na) metal is made to react with water (H2O) to form Sodium Hydroxide Na(OH)2 and Hydrogen H2 Gas. This reaction is highly exothermic, the piece of the sodium melts while the reaction takes place.
