Answer 2

Sodium is one of the most reactive metals which reacts violently with the normal water as well as the soap water.

Sodium forms sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas while reacting with the water or the soap water.

This is a heat generating chemical reaction.

Chemical equation of this chemical reaction is:

Na+H2O--->NaOH+H(g)
