This is an exothermic reaction. Sodium metal is heated and may ignite and burn with a characteristic orange flame. Hydrogen gas released during the burning process sodium reacts strongly with oxygen in the air
(sodium being oxidised by the water to sodium hydroxide and the water reduced to hydroxide ions.)
